Mule Accusquare – what a great fence!
I installed a Mule Accusquare fence with an attached router fence on my Jet contractor’s saw. I am thrilled. The whole thing cost only $300. I was surprised at how easy it was to install. The instructions are concise without all sorts of lawyer talk.
The best thing about the fence is that I can set it at a specific distance from the blade and it doesn’t move when I tighten it down. Now I have the old Jet fence and Rockler router table fence to get rid of.

Great news! I've been recommending that people try that fence for a couple years now, based on other positive reports and the fact that they offer a satisfaction guarantee. Would love to have one on my ol' Jet.
Speaking of which, if you don't find a buyer for your fence and would like to get rid of just the fence (not the rails) I wouldn't mind replacing mine. It was dinged up by the previous owner, who must have thought a ballpeen hammer would help its effectiveness.

It'd be nice to have that Accusquare fence on the ol' Jet, but then what would I do when I sell the Jet and pick up something else with a Biese (or clone) on it? Hmmmm, I don't have Tolpin's book, opted for Mehler and one by Burton instead. No wonder I didn't understand, LOL!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
That's how I got an Accusquare on my ol' Jet. Someone bought a saw with a Beismeier and sold this to me on the cheap. I'm keeping the Jet (unless I somehow come up with the cash for a Euro slider)

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with an ax.

I didn't get the Euro gizmo. I figured I would just make one myself.
I bought the fence used (cheap). I like it alot.
