New fence for older Rockwell/Beaver
donkon | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Greetings,
Has anyone installed a Biesmeyer fence on an older Rockwell/Beaver 9″ table saw. It seems to me you would have to remove the original steel rods that hold the fence and extensions…

Don - I too have a 9" Delta (you and I may be the only remaining!) and have been researching fences for some time now. SO far, the best bet seems to be the Vega line - available on Amazon.com from about $200-300, depending on size and whether you go for the pro line or not. I spoke to one of their reps and he explained to me how the unit would need to be attached, doesn't sound too hard to do - and they were very helpful. From what I've been able to determine, Beisemeyer is less adaptable, if at all, to anything other than 10". Let me know what you end up doing - plan to upgrade myself in the next month or so.
Okay I have three of them and I used all three up until two days ago. Replaced one with a new General with the bessy knock off fence. I built a fence like the bessy for one of the saws and have never had a problem with it since. The whole fence cost me $30.00 CDN to build. I will see if I can find the plans that I used to build it and post them here.Scott C. Frankland
