    Awfully expensive. I'd happily sell you the one that came with mine for $50. Might not be as nice as that one though, for $285 it'd want to set itself...

    If you are prepared to pay $285 then why don't you pay $325 for a Biesemeyer style fence. This is one I have.

    I throw mine away and made my own Biesemeyer.

    The standard fence was not always square.

    Wise words indeed, if only you had posted them a day earlier.

    I ended up buying the Torquata fence,
    No instructions, minor dents and scratches, a month worth of weekends trying to set it up.
    Both rails have minor twists, but both in the opposite direction.
    I wonder how much aluminum is worth these days?

    Lignum, my JET supersaw came with the fence like the one in the picture. It worked fine for a couple of years, then it started to play up. The handle just poped up and fence came loose all the time.

    Surely it had some sort of warrantee ? can't you return it ? I'd be emailing timbecon.

    Edit: I can't believe they charge that for that. It's the same as the one I want to sell except for the fine adjust. You could have had a lousy fence form me at a fraction of teh price
