Used Bandsaw Fence

Post by dafixer »

I'm in need of a fence for my bandsaw table. I ordered a new one (not the premium one) on July 23 and was immediately told it was on back order. It's now August 17 and today they told me it will be AT LEAST 2 to 3 weeks more.

So, I'm in the market for a good used one. Anybody know where I can find one? Ebay has 1 right now but it's been jury-rigged and I'm not interested in that. Craigslist doesn't have one within 300 mile radius of me. I'm in eastern Tn, near Knoxville.

This may be obvious, but if you buy a used one make sure it comes with the rail that attaches to the table. I often see them in eBay and the auction only has the fence itself and not the rail.

Dafixer,

I bought the Kreg fence a while back (I have the aluminum table) and still have the old fence and rail. There was an angle piece that fit on the opposite side of the rail and not sure where it is. If you are interested PM me and we can work out the details or email me at jlemley@usa.net

Thanks for that note; I do have the rail. The bandsaw that I bought came without the fence.

If you're in a pinch for a fence, use a piece of wood and a couple small clamps. It'l probably work as good, or better, than an Aluminum fence anyway.
