Also look at the Ridgid saw sold at Home Depot. If their fence is
available separately, it's the same one and would bolt on just fine
(perhaps after drilling some holes--cast iron is easy).


How well does that fence work? None of the Home Despots in the area
have one set up to look at.


I was happy with it. It was certainly a quantum improvement over the
1960's fence the -100 had. Of course, now that I have a Unisaw with a
Biesemeyer, I can safely say it's no Biesemeyer. However, it did
credible work. I think the only thing I would watch for is detritus
getting in the "track" on the front rail.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
care to correspond with you anyway.
