This was a great article - never saw so many fences
compared in a single article like this.

My situation is probably shared by many. I have a fairly
good open stand TS (AMT - out of business now). I have built
up the crappy fence that came with it. It operates OK - not
to .001 or even to .01 (I'm not even sure of 0.1) - but I have
gotten by with it for almost 15 years now. Many projects
have come out of it - most pretty acceptable I think.

To spend $200-$300 on a fence for this machine seems
absurd to me. I think I paid $325 for it (FOB Royersford PA).

What to do? Love to have that Biesmeyer on a 3 or 5 HP
Unisaw but would it improve my woodworking?

I don't think that putting a $300 fence on a $300-$500 machine
makes sense. Almost bought that Vega once on sale for around
$200 - maybe I should have.
