Aftermarket Fence

#1 Post by haydar »

Hello
Just acquired chinese-made contractor table saw, the model is Axminster TS-200.

It has very poor rip fence. Once the knob tightened, the fence will be off axis slightly to the right. also the length is only half of the table.
I'm leaning toward swapping aftermarket fence.

Problem is the cast iron table has holes on L-shaped topside to mount aluminum rail guide:

I've emailed Axminster, Rockler, Vega Fence, Delta Fence, MuleCab, Shop Fox, asking about installation and possibility to mount aftermarket fence on existing aluminum rail, but only one returned from Shop Fox, said due to specialized design of my saw, the aftermarket fence will not work!

please advice. thank you

Drill and bolt it to the existing fence.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.
