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.

Not as quick and not as effective.

A £44 investment on a £200 saw does make reasonable sense considering
that the fence is the weakest aspect.
