Bandsaw rip fence suggestion for Jet 12"

Two short boards mounted 90 degrees to each other and a clamp works. For re-sawing it has the advantage of being higher than a commercial fence and it easily adjusted to follow the blade track.

Yes, the more I think about it, maybe that would be adequate for my uses. Sometimes simpler is better. I can likely find a better use of $80.

Look at Duginskie or similar and make one with a pivot point for the absolute least resistance in sawing. Remember, you want the closest part of the circle or angle just prior to the teeth.

I bought the Fastrak, and managed to mount it to the Jet 16 I bought as while back. Were I to do it again, I would do as Ed suggested, and build my own. The level of accuracy required for a bandsaw fence is well within the range of most woodworkers' capability.

Hi John:

I built a simple 90° fence out of MDF (melamine actually) with one face 5: high and the other one 3" high. I simply clamped it where I needed it (on my JET 12" BS). Never found a need for anything fancier and still use it on my JET 14" BS (sold the 12").

Good luck Rob
