Comments on the Vega 40" Pro table saw fence system,
By "usrmsk" (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vega PRO 40 Table Saw Fence System With 42-Inch Fence Bar, 40-Inch to Right (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased the Vega 40" Pro table saw fence roughly five years ago and mounted it on a Rockwell 10" Contractor's saw that I bought in 1980. I was going to upgrade to a cabinet saw or the Unisaw but after replacing the stock fence with the Vega fence, I found I had no need to upgrade the table saw. I build fine furniture as a hobby and it's amazing the difference a good fence makes. It was extremely easy to install; no new holes were needed. This fence is always perpendicular to the blade and never needs to be adjusted after the initial installation. It's strong and very stable. I purchased the "Finger Saver" when I initially bought the fence and it was a great purchase. I'm finding it hard to find the additional accessories made by the manufacturer and which the tool vendors do not stock. I just returned from a trip to California where I had stopped at a Rockler store in the San Diego area. They had a Vega hold-down roller on the in-store display but did not have it available for purchase. I would have bought it on the spot if I could have. SUMMARY: POSITIVE ITEM --> The fence is exceptional and if I bought a new saw, I would most likely move it to the new saw; I like it that much. NEGATIVE ITEM --> The tool suppliers need to make the accessories more readily available to the public (such as people like ME!).

Excellent fence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vega PRO 40 Table Saw Fence System With 42-Inch Fence Bar, 40-Inch to Right (Tools & Home Improvement)
After several years wondering if it would be worth spending [money] on an aftermarket fence for my 20 year old Sears 10" table saw, I purchased the Vega 40" Pro fence. The fence installed with a minimum of modifications (one hole had to be drilled into the cast iron top for the rear rail). The fence makes a big improvement in the overall accuracy and ease of use of the saw. I wish I had made the move years ago. The scale is so precise that I can set up the rip width without using a rule to measure. I'm very happy with my decision to replace the stock fence!

Great fence, easy to install,
By KEVIN PEREZ (Littleton, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vega PRO 40 Table Saw Fence System With 42-Inch Fence Bar, 40-Inch to Right (Tools & Home Improvement)
After looking at all sorts of fences (Unifence, Biesmeyer, Excalibur, etc.) I chose the Vega because it was as sturdy as all the others, and had the added benefit of the micro adjust. It took me 30 minutes to install it and square it up. There was nothing difficult about the process whatsoever. The micro adjust helps alot in the home shop environment where, after you cut several pieces to the same size and change the fence settings, you have to go back and cut one more that exactly matches the others. Fine tuning like this is a snap. Besides being "rock-solid," the fence has other nice features, such as a fine measuring indicator line, an easy to read fence scale, and the ability to use Vega's or home-made sliding jigs that ride in the fence's top channel grooves. The fence is also pre-drilled and comes with extra-long screws for mounting a sacrificial face for dadoing and other operations. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase (and I'm not easy to please...)
