Very pleased with mine - transformed the saw.

Looks nice - what are the dimensions?

The fence is about 30" long and about 3" x 2" in cross section if that helps?

Yes, that's what I wanted to know. Think I'll get one.

That's the best mod. you can do for this type of saw. Another is to
build some infeed and outfeed tables that can fit around it.

This plan, and ones like it have been published many times.

At 44 quid it aught to be good. Almost as good as getting a couple of
clamps that will fit it or put a thin board on it to take an home made
fence.

It's about the ease, speed and accuracy with which the fence can be moved.
My current fence is a two-handed trial-and-error struggle and I watch Norm
on the TV with envy as he effortlessly moves his fence with one-hand.
