I have a great table saw but it only has a 30' fence. Almost forgot, I also checked out the fences on several different saws at the shop and most were basically Biesemeyer clones with the one on the SawStops being the best quality IMO.Īlmost forgot again, the slots in the front tube and extrusion allow you to easily attach all kinds of jigs and accessories (shown is my shop made adjustable support with uhmw strip that allows me to pull my shop made crosscut table further back without it tipping off the table) I've been using this one pretty much daily for about 10 years now and as with the first one it has been flawless. I eventually found a brand new one on eBay and added the Peachtree aluminum extrusion with the uhmw strip as seen. I ended up grinding that flat and added a uhmw plastic strip instead of the laminate covered plywood to use it while I searched for a Unifence. This time I decided to just replace the plywood and laminate myself but after removing it I found the problem was the weld was not ground flat on the side. I thought I had another twisted one but when I put the straight edge on I saw the face protruded at the bottom near where the handle bracket was welded on but was flat at the top. I had to drill new mounting holes but I got it installed and first thing I noticed is the extrusion was not square to the table in front but it was in the back. The front guide tube was slotted aluminum and adjustable side to side like the Unifence and the extrusion was basically the same laminate face design of the Beisemeyer with a nicer handle. When I received that one I noticed it was kind of a combination of the Unifence and Biesemeyer. I told him just send it and I would figure out how to make it work. The newly redesigned Unisaw had just come out and had a redesigned Biesemeyer but he wasn't sure if it would work on my saw since the new one had a 28' instead of typical 27' deep table. He was even shocked at the crappy quality and I told him I would rather go back to the Unifence but they were discontinued. By this time I was seriously irritated so Delta sent a rep to see them all. The second one they sent was twisted if I remember correctly and the third had a bubble in the laminate face making it useless as well. The first extrusion had a piece of metal stuck in the nylon glide that gouged the top of my brand new saw. That one worked great for nearly 20 years until I got my new Unisaw with the Biesemeyer but it was after they were bought out by Delta. I had the 'original' Biesemeyer on my Delta cabinet saw when I first bought it over 30 years ago and it was a great fence while I had it but I eventually switched to the Unifence due to it's versatility.
