   Hey Jose,

   I own the Brett-Guard fence system (manufactured by HTC) and it's a beaut.

   Purchased it direct from them.

   Price? Don't remember exactly but in the $7oo to $900 range.

   I looked at the Biesmeyer. Liked their stop better, but not enough to overcome the heavier construction of the Brett-Guard.

   It also has the coveted splitters.

   What really pushed me over the edge is that OSHA has actually approved the Brett-Guard ... something they have not done for any other table saw guarding system.

   HTC Commercial Multi-Fence with 50" rails is $400 at Woodcraft.  (That's not much more than a Biesmeyer which lacks micro-adjustment.)  Woodworker's Supply wants $460 for the Brett Guard, plus another $90 for support brackets of you've got a Jet.  So you're right in the ball park on the price.  Nice system, but lots of $$$.  Too bad it's made in Singapore.

   The Brett-Guard and HTC's new multi-fence are BOTH made in Royal Oak, Michigan. I've been to their plant several times and they make it right there!
