Default Excalibur fence

Hi,

I used to have a King Table saw with a Excalibur fence that I really loved.

Now I have a much better General cabinet TS, with it's own General
T-Fence... that I don't like... I, by far, prefer the smooth operation of
the Excalibur Bearings.

I would put my excalibur on my General, but the rails are too short.

I can't find Excalibur anywhere since General bought it and discontinued it.

Anyone here knows a place where I could find used/new rails...

Thanks.

What is too short? The rails on my Excalibur are 32" if I remember rightly.
Have you tried contacting General to see if they might have any left over
old Excalibur rail stock from when they took over the company?

There must be some people selling their Excalibur fence and rails, although
it's less likely you'll find just the rails alone. Have you looked through
the Craiglist and Ebay sales? As well, looking at the Excalibur rails, I
can't envision it being too difficult for you to contract a set yourself.
Basically, you need a thin rail for the wheels to ride on. How that's
fastened to the tablesaw is mostly open to choice.

Hi,

Yes the rails are too short, I need to be able to cut larger than 32" minus
the distance of the fence to the guide's ruler so it's roughly 26"

General doesn't have any parts left.

I've left a message to some guys at graiglist that sells their Table saw
with the Excalibur, I've ask them if we could negociate an exchange!!!

Yep you are right I could just use an Iron or Alu rod (right angle).

Rails - out of my jargon set - are they the round bars along the side ?

If so - I would think a quality metal working company could set you up
with anything.

Think outside of the box to find some solutions.
