IMHO, band saw fences are way over rated...
We have them on router tables and table saws, so we figure that a BS needs one
too..
I used a friend's kreig (SP) $150 "micro adjustable" fence kit with t-track
brackets and was unimpressed..


The only thing a band saw fence is really useful for is resawing,
otherwise they're pretty pointless. It's like having a fence on a
scrollsaw.


Mine keeps the cat from rolling off the table in his sleep..
