   I haven't built my own, but did adapt one of the shorter Delta T-square fences to my old Delta 9" contractor's saw a couple of years ago. Doing that meant drilling a couple of new holes in the rail to match the existing holes in the saw's table, but that wasn't difficult. The decision was made easy by finding the fence on sale at Amazon, for around $160, IIRC.

   Even the shorter T-square fence would have made the saw tipsy, though. So, I decided to offset the fence to the left, splitting the rip capacity.

   Thanks for your info, Ralph...I will check with the local Delta dealer and see how their T-square compares with the after-market MuleCab fence that forestgirl brought to my attention. Dzhek

   MuleCab fence

   Demon, a number of people with the old Sears saws have fitted a Mule Cabinetmaker's fence to them and been quite pleased.  They come with a 90-day no-questions-asked return policy, might be worth looking at:  http://www.mulecab.com/

   Many thanks, forestgirl...I checked them out and they will respond with more detailed info. Looks like this might be the best solution. Dzhek

   Re: Table Saw Rip Fence

   Here is something I ran across on Lumberjocks recently.  It looks to be pretty good.  I have an old Power Craft that my grandfather gave to my dad when I was about 7 years old and thought if I ever set it up I could make something like this for it.

   Here's the link:  http://lumberjocks.com/Hutch/blog/2740
