1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, February 10, 2003
By A Customer
Even after shimming this fence and spending a lot of time making adjustments it just doesn't do the job. It does not clamp onto the table tightly and moves when any pressure is applied. You're better off using a peice of scrap wood clamped to the table top. I took the fence to the Delta repair center to see if they could offer advice and they had never even seen this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the money, November 5, 2003
By "jraycurtis" (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
For the money, this is not a bad item. Other reviewers are correct that it doesn't come with directions, but page 17 of the PDF manual that is linked on Amazon's product page (should be above if you are reading this review)shows the 5 steps needed to square it up. Took me less than 5 minutes. Basically, clamp it down, and loosen the two screws on top until it is square (the manual says to use the miter guage slot to check for square-ness, I used my Swanson Speed Square), then tighten the two screws. You can adjust how tight it clamps to the table by rotating the flip/lock lever until it is as tight as you need. That's it!

Again, for the price I paid, not a bad addition for my 9" band saw. When I get my 14" professional band saw, I'll get a better fence.

This product does what most rip fences do. The only "problem" is that the table on the 9" band saw has no rule so care must be taken to set the fence where you want it from the... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a quality item
I honestly think a board clamped to the work surface would take about the same amount of time to set up and do as good a job, if not better. Read more

I knew that this was going to be a less than great product but I did not expect it to be used. They didnt even bother to clean the sawdust out of it!

Fence was delivered yesterday. No directions on it's use and I can't make it fit securly to the table. I do not recommend it. Will be returning it for credit.

Well, it makes the saw easier to use, but isn't pleasurable to adjust because it is hard to get perfectly parallel to the blade. Read more
