What would you pay for a jointer fence?
I'm rebuilding an 8" Vega jointer fence that is out of production. Vega
has offered to machine a new one for me, but at a cost of $275. Does that seem steep? I don't mean for the cost of machining--that doesn't seem like an unfair price to me--but are there aftermarket jointer fences? Has anyone made their own? Any ideas? Thanks, H |

Absolutely not when you consider an aftermarket table saw fence will set you back more than that in most cases. I don't mean for the cost of machining--that doesn't seem like an unfair price to me--but are there aftermarket jointer fences? None that I know of. Has anyone made their own? I don't know. Any ideas? The best I can come up with is seeing a 60's vintage Craftsman/King Seeley fence that was used on an older Delta jointer. UA100 |

I know, I know. It's just when you get the jointer for $90, you start
getting greedy, and looking at a fence that costs more than the jointer seems a crime. Criminally yours, H |
