Jet 708747 Rip Fence with Resaw for 16-Inch Band Saw

 (3 customer reviews)

I was unsatisfied with the fence on my Grizzly 17" bandsaw. It had a handle in the wrong place (to release the fence would bring the handle up to where the wood was usually positioned, because the handle was 2 inches to the right of the fence, go figure, meaning that to adjust the fence I would have to remove the wood from the table). This fence is a great design. The release handle is in line with the fence itself, as it should be, so you never have to remove the workpiece from the table to adjust the fence. The fence lock is very very secure. Moving the fence is smooth. Movement of the fence during locking is not too much. All in all, great. The resaw attachment that comes with the fence is really nice. It is basically a point fence about 6 inches high. It is very stable and when I bolted it onto my Grizzly bandsaw it was perfectly at 90 degrees. Highly recommended. In order to fit it to my saw I had to drill one hole at the back edge of the fence to bolt the rear guide...Read more

i love the rip fence the problem i had with it , is the cam locking lever.after recieving the assimbly diagram from the seller ,it showed that the lock plate pad was missing(this is item 34 on the diagram)therefore the fence had a play. simple fix is to take a piece of 1/8 x1"x 1" plexi(or any material this thick)and epoxy it on to the lock plate and you are good to go.And it works great : it slides easyly and lock well since the problem was fixed

The fence for my bandsaw is exactly as advertised, I am pleased with it and the mailing quick service. Thanks
