I need help choosing aa fence for aan older, but reliable Rockwell table saw. The rails on it were covered with rust and need replacement. I am looking at Grizzly’s Shop Fox , the Biesmeyer, but money is an issue and would like to keep it under $300.00. Any advice appreciated.

Lowe's has a Delta T2 fence for $150, nice enough fence - I bought one for my Clausing saw.
The T2, Vega, and SF Aluma Classic are all good choices in the $150-$230 range. Sometimes Ebay or the wwing classifieds have good deals too...

In my old shop on my old saw i had a Vega and I loved it. My current Beismeyer is nice but my Vega was better. The micro adjuster was a VERY nice trick that i loved and really miss. So if you can still find it I would suggest the Vega and keep in mind that i have know used both the Biesmeyer and the Vega. Although i have not used any of the others.

Thanks to you both for the input on the Vega, and Shop Fox.

Well hope it was of use to you. Like i said i think that they are all good but i really did like the Vega so good luck and have a nice Holiday.
