   Ken, there have been a  couple of threads on aftermarket fence.  I recall the Accusquare fence getting rave reviews, but the Accufence not so good.  You might do a search over the last 6 months.

   I've done some talking with a woodworking tools bargain hunter / guru (jdorn) here at work and he's got me convinced to buy a Beisemeyer.

   I don't always go along with the croud, but in this case capitulation is better than compromise.

   Thanks a bunch,

   I wouldn't say "guru" as much as i would say, guy that lucked into finding a great price on a Unisaw with a Beisemeyer on it :)

   But I do love that Beisemeyer fence, it blows the doors off my old saws fence system (not that beating out a benchtop saws fence is hard), and from my use so far its very accurate and ridgid, both very important in saws.

   Not to mention that it lifts off the saw easily when i need it out of the way, and that there is no rear rail to get in the way of an outfeed table, and its very easy to fit jigs onto it.

   Ken,

   Check out my post on the Help PM 66 fence. The Accufence is what comes with the 66 and it not good. I replaced with a Biese and life is good again. FWIW, I would think twice about going with the Biesemeyer.

   That seems to be the word on the street.  My money's on Biesemeyer!

   Thanks for your input Carlos.
