Rip Fence

I purchased this fence for my Delta 9"band saw it was easy to install and works well

Even after shimming this fence and spending a lot of time making adjustments it just doesn't do the job. It does not clamp onto the table tightly and moves when any pressure is applied. You're better off using a peice of scrap wood clamped to the table top. I took the fence to the Delta repair center to see if they could offer advice and they had never even seen this product.

For the money, this is not a bad item. Other reviewers are correct that it doesn't come with directions, but page 17 of the PDF manual that is linked on Amazon's product page (should be above if you are reading this review)shows the 5 steps needed to square it up. Took me less than 5 minutes. Basically, clamp it down, and loosen the two screws on top until it is square (the manual says to use the miter guage slot to check for square-ness, I used my Swanson Speed Square), then tighten the two screws. You can adjust how tight it clamps to the table by rotating the flip/lock lever until it is as tight as you need. That's it!

Again, for the price I paid, not a bad addition for my 9" band saw. When I get my 14" professional band saw, I'll get a better fence.
