Woodhaven - Woodhaven- 7280 Bandsaw Fence
Woodhaven's fence was the most solid of the ones we tested due to its locking in the front and back when you get the angle right.
Oct 25, 2012
The Woodhaven’s fence is the only one that locks in the back and front. This makes it the most solid of all, but is also the source of its main drawback: It does not lock at the same angle each time. Its movement is also herky-jerky as you adjust it, and depending on which way you happen to be pushing, the fence can lock down crooked enough to make the blade wander, ruining the cut. It also lacks a ruler system.

The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Veritas Standard Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
