Bandsaw Fence

Bummer,
My bandsaw is an older model I guess. It's a Magna bandsaw and the only theaded holes under the table are two used to hold a strap across the blade insertion slot. Unless those are the one you are talking about. Is this true? I noticed in you pic that it seems you would have to remove the fence rail to change the blade???

Those are the holes and you do have to remove the fence bar to change the blade.
