I’ve had the Jet fence for 5 years or so, and I use it every day, and it works fine. There really isn’t much you can do to a bandsaw fence to genuinely improve on it. I made a tall fence that I clamp to bandsaw table for resawing. I made it so there is slot in it to allow the upper guide, to go up and down for varying widths of stock. I found single point fences unreliable for resawing.

Frank,
I recently bought a 14" Delta BS...I think the table might be larger than a Jet, not sure. Anyway, I recycled the fense from my table top TS (skill) ...and, so far, appears to be working fine. New, my Skill TS cost $99.....so now its been converted to a sander and, of course, is providing the fense for the BS...... I may do crappy work but no one can claim I spent a lot getting there...lol
I have the fastrak on a 14" delta. It works great but I wouldnot purchase the fine adjustment gizzmo. It is difficult to use and it sticks and is a general nusance. Sorry Mark.
