Carter Products Magfence II is a nice one. It uses Magswitch magnets that can be removed and used in other fixtures, also.

I have the answer for your question. I will swap out all your new equipment for my upgraded versions so you can hit the ground running with all the current bells and whistles and everything has been adjusted and aligned properly. Where do you live and I will come pick everything up myself.

I just saw it in a add for Kreg's new wood mill that turns your bandsaw into a saw mill to cut up logs into lumber. It was in the video Kreg used.

I think it is the magfence that someone else mentioned above.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm not looking to get every upgrade out there. I have just heard of complaints like the bearings on the stock bandsaw being noisy. Issues like that I would like to resolve right off the bat. I do appreciate the feedback on the table upgrades and dust collection upgrades. It gives me a good idea on what people are running into over time. Thanks again and feel free to keep them coming!
