Aluminum. Wingnuts. Sliding. All these things scream "alignment" to me.

Not really. The aluminum part that moves is up against the heavy casting
that is the part that securely locks to the saw. Once you have the casting
set, the aluminum repeats accurately (it is metal on metal with nothing to
let it become inaccurate) when it is tightened against the casting.

If the "heavy casting" only connects at the front and doesn't continue to the
back, there is room for error. Beisemeyer is one piece so there is nothing to
get whacked out, other then the pair adjustment set screws. They're easily
adjusted and really don't take much abuse anyway.

You're speaking about that which you know not.

That's why I'm asking, dummy.

My Unisaw has a Unifence and it
doesn't get any more "whacked out" than a Biesemeyer.

That's not what I've been told before and primarily why I went with the
*B*I*E*S*E*M*E*Y*E*R* instead of the *U*N*I*F*E*N*C*E*.

And yes, I've used a
Biesemeyer (which you misspelled, btw) many times; my father and my buddy both
have one.

Sorry, my speelczecher doesn't do trademarks. Geez, what a maroon!
