With a design very similar to the EZ Square, this is a solid fence with a few design flaws. If the fence is to the left of the blade, it is impossible to take it off the saw without removing its guide rail completely, which is tedious. I could live with that, but I also found it difficult to lock the fence reliably in a vertical square position. This is because the center clamping bolt is set too low so the fence rocks on it rather than sitting solidly on its plastic guide disks.

Not so vertical. Because it rocks on its guide rail, the fence doesn’t always lock square to the table.
