I'm looking for a bandsaw fence to suit an old Woodfast bandsaw. Prepared to spend around $100 plus postage.
Cheers

I bought one of these...https://www.timbecon.com.au/sawing/bandsaws-accessories/bandsaw-rip-fence-attachment, well made and fits together nicely..

I have a bit of a challenge fitting to my old ELU, but working on the assumption(?) that your old WF has a decent apron around the table you'll be done in a half hour...

Thanks David.
I wasn't aware of that one. Can the fence arm be adjusted to allow for drift angle?
Cheers

Is it a large table?

I have a Table Saw fence, which may be able to be cut down, but probably only suitable for a large bandsaw.
It is in the attic, so would need to pull it down to refresh the exact details, but will do so if you are interested.

Regards

Bauldy,
It's a 14" bandsaw with a smallish table compared with most newer saws of the same size. If the fence you have is a t-square style though it should be easy enough to adapt by mounting some rails. Actually, I'm also thinking about making a larger auxiliary table to mount on top of the old one to increase the working surface. So if you don't mind posting a picture I'd be grateful.

Will dig it out a send something. It should have the Front and Back rails with it as I replaced it with a more sturdy fence.

It is much bigger than I thought and possibly is only suitable for a Saw Bench.

You are welcome to have a look as I will try and sell it now that it is down.

Not looking for a lot for it.
