Favor to anyone with a Bies and Unifence
tschmaling | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Quick favors to ask… I need measurements. (Edit… sorry if the title was misleading)
On the Biesemeyer fence, what is the approx width and height of the actual metal fence portion that the faces attatch to?
For the Unifence, how tall and wide is the aluminum fence face?
(Mind you I’m not looking for lengths, I’m looking at cross-section dimensions as I’m attempting a technical drawing of which I’ll divulge more info later)
THANKS!!!!

the unifence is 3.5" tall, and at it's widest point (the base of the fence that attaches to the 'trolley') is 2".
My Biesemeyer commercial fence is made with 3 x 2 x approx 0.10 wall welded tube, laying flat (3 in face horizontal) with the weld flash centered on the bottom face.
Be seeing you...
Before you get too involved with reinventing the fence go here...

Very interesting link. I love the Unifence, but I think there's room for improvement on the body/locking mechanism. Just for #### and giggles I'm submitting an Idea to Delta (at their request).
I doubt nothing will ever come out of it, but what the hell. I have 10 minutes to kill. If (when) I get myself a Uni, I'm going to probably get one of those Uni-T deals.
Thanks for the info, guys!
I got one of the t-tracks for my father, he really likes it... and about a week ago, when I ran my unifence into the moving saw blade (not good), I was able to go over to his shop and say "hey, you don't use the stock unifence anymore, right?, mind if I swap you for mine?".
