Laguna launched its first Driftmaster bandsaw fence five years ago. We tested an updated version, available in January 2013, which has improved components and features—easier attachment and setup, a beefier lead screw (acme threads), and no interference with a bandsaw’s lower door. It is a big, industrial tool, with a large dial that swings the tall fence quickly to any drift angle and a long screw that micro-adjusts the fence (a knob disengages it for big fence moves). I change blades when mine dull and begin to drift, but if I had an industrial shop, with a big bandsaw dedicated to resawing, the Driftmaster would let me run big blades longer even when the drift angle changes.

Dial in the drift. No fence makes it easier to adjust the fence for blade drift, even to an extreme angle.
