20 customers mention20 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the fence. They mention that it is well-made, of quality materials, and well-machined. The fence itself seems very stout, and is world class drill press gear. It mounts to their drill press and provides stability. Customers also say that it's a great addition to their tool collection and a bargain compared to other brands.

Customers have mixed opinions about the adjustability of the fence. Some mention that it fits perfectly, while others say that it doesn't fit well on their DIY quality drill press. The T-bolts are too big and wide to fit in a typical T-track. The knob that locks the flip stop is too large for clearance.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use. Some mention it's easy to assemble and install, while others say that the cam locks require some attention and can be too loose or hard to lock and unlock.

3 customers mention0 positive3 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stickiness of the product. They mention that the magnet does not stick, the tabs that lock it in place, and the clamps do not fit properly. This causes the fence to move out of position.

It could be better.
I set up the fence in the high-profile position. The screws for the mounting assemblies bottomed out before the mount seated in the T-track. This caused the fence to rock forward and back. It was locked in position and didn't move side to side, but it still pivoted vertically on the ends of the screws. I added washers and it worked, the mount seated as it should, and the screws didn't bottom out (see image). Without adding the washers, the fence was useless to me, and I would have returned it. The cam seats are soft, they could have been a better plastic, maybe Nylon. The T-bolts are coarse thread, a fine thread would lend to more adjustability. Further, the set screws for the T-track on the mounting assemblies are too close to the cam lever. They should be set slightly further apart to make them more accessible. Even better, the fence could be attached to the mounting assembly with knobs instead of screws but that would require a design overhaul. As is the set-up is stiff and a little cumbersome but consider that there is play in the T-slots on the drill press table and this is for woodworking not machining, so it's good enough, I'll keep it. If you wax the table and the contact parts of the fence it's easier to work with and adjust. I was able to zero the fence and checked it with a steel ruler against the stop. For this review the fence was mounted on a Delta 18-900L Drill Press.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed...but will keep it
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
Why did I buy this? Because it was made for the drill press I currently own (Delta 18-900L).

Biesemeyer is part of the Delta brand...which as of 2020, still sucks. So it was no surprise this was going to be just a little disappointing. Still, it is functional...it works...so I'm giving it 2 stars.

This is not the same Biesemeyer brand as my old Biesemeyer table saw fence system.
That was made when Delta table saws were made in America. That Biesemeyer, like my old made in the USA Unisaw, is so well made that it will outlive me and whoever owns it next.

I will outlive this unit and I'm 53 years old.

It arrived as an opened package with parts falling out.
I could blame this on Amazon or the shipper, but the packaging was simply very basic...not a lot of consideration.
The parts that did fall out were damaged through the plastic envelopes.
The general machining and quality of the parts are not typical Biesemeyer quality. Why wouldn't you just add $20 to the price and add a little steel in the right places...make it simple but bulletproof and good enough to outlive 2 generations. Instead of something, more than likely, destined for a landfill after 5-10 years.

What is wrong with the tool industry? They are tools. Tools should me like...TOOLS!

I'm from a generation that has seen a drastic drop in the quality of everyday things. It's sad.

Make it better Delta. Also please figure out a way to pack the user manual so that it's not a crumpled mess wen you open the flimsy box.
