Of course, with a wide kerf, you have to saw outside the line. This won't work with things like puzzles.

Good point about set.
I would not use a band saw to cut a puzzle.
'Maybe' that is why they are called 'jig saw' puzzles.

I have the mag fence II but have not reviewed it yet. I was a little worried in that the placement of the magnets and the width of the table but they hold really well. I have done some plastic cutting board fence pieces for it and that is a little work but a lot cheaper then the ones they sell for that purpose. I think you will be happy with it.
I was playing with an alignment method that is pretty much what carter has but I have not had time to continue that effort. I'd like to get back at it one of these days but I'd also like to here how the carter system works for you.
