Denny,

I've worked with and owned both (Beis/clones and Unifence) and mounted them
in several different configurations. Either can be adapted to -just about-
any tablesaw. You can check the manf website to see if they have any
installation notes that may prevent it from being installed on your TS.

The rail in the back is not used for the fence at all but is merely a
support for the extension table on the right side. Since you do not have
the room for the extension table, you will not need the back rail.

The front rail mounts slightly differently for each model but essentially,
if you can bolt it down to the front in 3 places, it will be as solid as
you'll ever need. Essentially, the top of the front rail needs to be ~3/4"
lower than the tabletop surface. The fence mounting bolt locations need to
be about 1/2" to 1" lower so you may need to make/install brackets and/or
drill holes in the TS. You can cut the front rail to the length you want.
Measure distance from blade to the max right position then add the extra
needed to support the right-hand part of the T on the fence.

I've come to the conclusion that I need a new fence for my Delta (36-650).
It's a struggle to cut a straight line with the fence that came with the
saw (it's just a generic Delta fence), because it has too much wiggle at
the
back end when it's locked. It looks like most replacement fences have
long
rails and require adding an extension with legs to support the rails, but
I
don't really have the room for that kind of setup. So my question is what
would be a good replacement fence that would fit the saw without having to
add an extension? I'm assuming I'll have to spend about $200 to $300...
Thanks,
Denny
