I have a 30" Biesemeyer fence on my Delta table saw, and had a hard time making up a cut off fence that wouldn't wreck the Biesmeyer fence, and that was still effective enough not to move around. This Biesemeyer Cut Off Fence does the job. It's easy to set up, and is extremely rigid. The best thing about it, is that you only need to subtract an inch from the fence setting for the correct cut. There is no better Cut Off Fence for the price.

I purchased this product to use with the Biesemeyer fence that came with my Delta X5 Contractor's Saw (36-507X). This cut-off stop is quickly added and removed from the fence for easy setup. When attached to the fence, the stop adds exactly 1" to the fence thickness; therefore, you can still use the fence measurement scale (with the obvious 1" adjustment). This stop is much easier and more accurate than the alternative, a piece of wood and clamp.

Another great Biesemeyer product.

I purchased one of these for my Biesemeyer fence system. Like all the products these people make, it is top notch. And if you ever have a problem, just give them a call and talk to the factory about it. Almost everyone there can help you out. It's nice to have a great product backed by great customer satisfaction.

I just received my cutoff fence and assembled it to the instructions. I measured the width from the angle to the fence surface. It measured 1.045. That was a little to much for me. I then took my toolmakers square and found out that the aluminum angle was out of square. The fence does have an adjustment screw to correct this, but it is to adjust the out of square in only one direction. My fence was out the other way. To make a long story short I removed the angle and sanded it square and to the right thickness on my delta 12" with 80 grit paper. The fence was .760 and the angle is now .240 = 1.000. One thing I forgot to mention, after you drill the fence material make sure you counter sink the holes so when you mount the angle that it sits real flat.

All the good stuff you will read about this product is true. My only gripe is that I think I just paid $20.00 for the cut off stop and the rest of this month's salary for the name.

It scores for function and safety but I had to remove excess paint to make it parrallel to the fence. This also improved the thickness dimension from over 1-1/32" to 1-1/64". It should be considered an essential tool for safety. I had the bruises to prove it after years of dumb luck.

I must agree with another reviewer. This is a must have safety product.This should come with a saw like a miter gauge. You must either build one or purchase this one. Don't wait until you need it for a project because you might find yourself just being extra careful on that cut like I found myself several years ago. I pride myself on being safe in the shop and in life in general. I ,however, cross cut a 1 x 4 using the rip fence one too many times and found myself with two nice little bruises on my belly. It hurt like crazy. I knew better and had heard Norm say not to do it several times. I now know why. I didn't want to spend the money on the device. Please don't hesitate to purchase this product. I was lucky to only have three bruises, two on my belly and one directly to my pride. Four stars because it is nice perfectly one inch.

I've been delaying buying this for years, but finally did it. I have been very happy with it's performance so far. Much easier than clamping a scrap on the fence.

I use this on my Jet Xacta table saw. Works great! For the price, you could build your own. However, this has a nice square face and a handy, easy-to-use clamping system! Definitely worth it!

This is not a review. This is just a bit of information for a potential buyer who may be looking for additional information on the 78-939 Cut-Off Stop product.

The link on this product description page, to the PDF product manual is wrong. Instead of taking you to the 78-939 Cut-Off Stop for T-Square Fences product manual, it takes you instead to the Biesemeyer T-Square Miter Saw Table Instruction Manual. This is kind of sad since I was interested in obtaining a lot more information about the Cut-Off Stop than was given in the sparse product description. I gave the product 3 stars because I had to rate this item to get the review published and I didn't want to be unfair.

I informed Amazon about this problem months ago but I see that nothing has changed.
