bobgroh wroteWell, what an interesting thread. There seems to be 3 general types of bandsaw fences that have or are sold by SS:
1. The Kreq adaptation that is sold by SS. This does include a means to adjust the fence for drift - apparently by skewing the entire fence while leaving the clamping attachment alone.
2. The SS fence that clamps on BOTH sides of the table. For that one, SS (in their catalog writeup) does not mention the ability to compensate for drift. One could do that, I guess, with the two screws in the front of the mount. It kind of looks like the back clamp has a bit of play in it so that the fence can be skewed but the back clamp won't try to yank it back. I think this variation was the oldest, was replaced by #3 (below) and now has been brought back.
3. The SS fence that clamps only on one edge of the table. The catalog write up did (at one time) specifically mention the ability to adjust for drift. But, as noted, this version is apparently no longer being provided/sold.
OK, confusing. I know I want the Kreg version!
Chronologically, it would be 3, 2 and then 1, oldest to newest.
Drift on 2 and 3 can be done with the 2 set screws in the fence bracket that each have. On the Kreg, you loosen 2 1/2" bolts and adjust the fence.
