   "I'm out of space here, so I'll post in a seperate post to follow."  Not sure I understand that, WhiteDog...  is that "photo space"??  The allotment for photo's is per user, not per thread.

   Losing a rip fence isn't so unusual. When Amazon ran a super special on the Delta T-3 fence, I bought one and adapted it to my 9" Delta contractor saw. (I don't have room for anything bigger.) When I finished, the fence whispered, "You put me on a contractor saw? First Unisaw in the neighborhood, and I'm outta here!" ;-)

   Seems like a reasonable substitute, and when you need a fence, you need a fence!  I'd want to be sure the far end didn't lift up after fence is clamped (might allow a thin piece to go under the fence). 

   Looks like you got the picture thing down, WhiteDog.  That one's composed well and a perfect file size!

    When I tried earlier today, I posted the text part first, Then the picture.   A "pie chart" came up to show how much I had left for a picture.   Picture did not fit.   This time, I loaded the picture first, and You see the result.    Fence was for a bench top style  saw that lost it's factory fence during a move.    The saw's owner built a version of this for his saw.   He loved it.  He might even keep it as a permament fence.  It took maybe a half hour to design and build, alignment is done as it is built.  Since his saw has no back rail, this works.  Just three pieces of scrap wood and a couple of c clamps on the front rail.  Hey, it works.
