To fix this, I cut out a square just in the middle so that the guide assembly can be lowered down to the height of the normal fence. The base will need to be clamped down to the bandsaw table while in use, so I wanted a little tab where the clamps could go. The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence easily adjusts to your blades drift angle to provide you with a new level of band saw accuracy.

I added a hardwood rail to the back of the table that supports the fence beyond the bandsaw table, adding to the rip capacity.However much many of us may regret the passing of Imperial measurements, the fact is that we are now metric.

The Kreg® Precision Band Saw Fence easily adjusts to your blade’s drift angle to provide you with a new level of band saw accuracy. I see the few slight drawbacks mentioned above as small engineering challenges which I can overcome if they prove to be long term problems. Removing the Record fence was one of those wonderful delights even though I had paid too much for something to be so disliked. I used the bandsaw to cut away the material, nibbling away until everything inside the box was cut away.In addition, the fence can be quickly changed to a low-profile position to allow the blade guides to be moved closer to the workpiece. The magnets on the Magswitch products seem to be even stronger so, if you make your own and use the Magswitches I wouldn't think you would have any problems. i have the exact bandsaw as yours and have been looking to do something about the frustration with the fence issue . Kregg also offers a tall fence add on adapter for free hand re-sawing but I have never used mine because it is to tall to fit my 14″ bandsaw and I prefer to re-saw with the fence. I made sure to countersink the holes - countersinking means creating a space for the screw head to sit down in.
