Be Aware of Your Saw Table Depth
I bought this fence because the original fence that came with my Jet table saw had plastic rails. Within a year, they had visibly warped. I wanted a fence with metal rails that would stay true, so I tried this one. Several reviewers have already mentioned that the installation instructions are STILL wrong. You need to take every reference that says "front rail" in the installation instructions and change it to "back rail" and vice versa. I guess the ShopFox people feed their table saw from the opposite end or something?Anyway, the bigger problem I had was that nothing anywhere said anything about table depth. Just that it "fits most table saws." Well, it didn't fit mine. It's already been said that you may have to drill new holes to get the rails on your saw table -- I did, and that worked fine. But there is one, threaded hole on the underside of the fence itself for the "foot" that slides along the front (yes, ShopFox, the FRONT) rail, by which you can adjust the height of the fence above the table. As you can see from the pic I posted, it didn't fit my Jet saw table AT ALL, and there is NO WAY to adjust it front-to-back. I had to actually tap a new threaded hole in the underside of the fence to get the "foot" to fit in the right place. So be aware that depending on the depth of your saw table (again, no information on this from the manufacturer so you can tell ahead of time), you too may have to tap a threaded hole in the fence.All that said, the fence itself is sturdy and I like the aluminum rails. I don't believe they will warp like Jet's plastic ones did. However, sliding the fence from side to side is nowhere near as smooth as the Jet fence -- the "foot" sliding along the front rail just doesn't glide that well. So overall, I gave it 3 stars. Good and sturdy, and I like the aluminum rails, but a bit of a pain to install, and operation is just OK.
