Toolmac 12" tablesaw fence
Hello everyone,
I just picked up a cheap 2nd hand table saw, it's a Toolmac 12inch table saw from 2001 but it didn't come with a fence.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a third party fence that will fit this style of saw? I have been using a dewalt job site saw so have had no experience with a full size saw.
Thank you in advance, David

Welcome to the forum.
You're unlikely to find a fence to suit your rails and will almost certainly have to buy a fence and rails. Either that or you can make a fence. The fence that came with these saws is pretty crappy so you're not really missing out on anything IMO. There's quite a knowledge base on these saws on the forum so if you run into any other problems do a bit of a search or just ask. You'll find this saw a lot more useful than your jobsite saw once you get it set up properly. Good luck.

Good chance it's the same as Aldav's and mine, and the myriad of other people who have posted here about them over time.
And is it seriously on a 15A or 20A plug, or is that badging on the main badge completely different to that on the motor? The motor on mine is rated as 2HP and 9A.

...but no longer seem to offer it, at least according to their website. Maybe worth a call to see, my suggestion would be to aim at a minimum of the 30" T-Glide model like comes with Carbatec Professional 250mm Cabinet Saw with 30" T-Glide Fence Kit | Carbatec

Sorry for the late late reply poundy, the guys at Mitre 10 found the original fence and I got it dialled in pretty well (I'll need to replace the nylon adjustment screws soon though). I checked with Carbatec and their replacement fence system is $600
