Shopmade Bandsaw Fence
Oct 25, 2005
This bandsaw fence, made from scrap hardwood, locks in place with an ordinary horizontal toggle clamp. Size the components to fit your table and cutting requirements. It is easy to fine-tune the locking pressure with the threaded adjustment provided on the toggle clamp.

Shop Fox W1826
The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.
