    Default Bandsaw Fence

    Hi, has anyone built a bandsaw fence? Specifically something with two key features:

    1) Micro adjuster to whined the fence sideways via a thumb screw
    2) Adjustment for drift

    I would be keen to make something like this but wouldn't mind some more detailed information and detailed pictures.

    Adjustment for drift is not necessary as that is dealt with by table adjustment on more modern saws. Jack Forsberg has a nice fine adjuster in this videa at about 3 minutes in. I have a fine adjuster on my fence and it is very handy to have in fact I used it tonight to get exactly what I wanted cutting a 5mm bevel on the edge of some glazing strips for a window.

    And further to this, adjust the blade tracking & tension & you will eliminate drift. (And you must have a sharp blade!!)
