Table Saw Fence

[ripNdeb]

I've read in several places that Bill uses an old Craftsman table saw with a $200 fence (can't remember the name)... or maybe it was Leland. Anyway, are these aftermarket fences pretty universal? How does a different fence hook up to a different table saw?
My little $99 craftsman has served me well in many smaller applications with a sled and such but, it's time to find something that'll cut bigger panels; accurately.

Your thoughts on table saw fences would be appreciated. thanks all,
Dana

Aftermarket fences are pretty much universal if the original fence rails are separate parts that bolt to the table. If the rails are incorporated into the table as a one piece assembly, which is the case with most low end saws today, then you can't use an aftermarket fence.

I just bolted a Delta T3 to my old Craftsman. I haven't trued it all up yet, but it does look promising.

i turned a $150 delta contractor saw into an accurate tool with this aftermarket fence from Vega Pro. I can now cut 40"to the right of the blade with 8' of outfeed table making ripping 5x5 bb easy and safe. Worth every penny!
