By difficult, I mean I scoured the internet repeatedly and came up with nothing. Since my saw is old (20+ years) and not tremendously popular, finding people that had actually installed a fence on it proved to be a bit difficult. Not being ready or really having space to upgrade to a cabinet saw, I started checking out aftermarket fences. It was still held on by bolts but it was no longer square. While I was trying to make adjustments to the fence to keep it square to the table, I cracked the cast steel where the fence meets the guide. I'd saw it was actually square 80% of the time but I would still check the fence constantly. The fence on this saw was stock, but much much nicer. With a bit of effort it was a very usable saw but I found myself having to square the fence every tine I moved it.Ī few months ago I upgraded saws to an old Grizzly TSC-10L (the saw was manufactured by Mao Shan and sold by Griz, Bridgewood, and a few others). My first saw was a 60 year old Delta Homecraft 8" that worked well but I had only bought it to dip my toe in the water to see if I enjoyed woodworking. Up until now I have been living with crappy stock fences on the inexpensive table saws that I have picked up from craigslist.
