I'm rebuilding an 8" Vega jointer fence that is out of production. Vega has offered to machine a new one for me, but at a cost of $275. Does that seem steep? I don't mean for the cost of machining--that doesn't seem like an unfair price to me--but are there aftermarket jointer fences? Has anyone made their own? Any ideas?
Thanks, H
Absolutely not when you consider an aftermarket table saw fence will set you back more than that in most cases.
None that I know of.
I don't know.
The best I can come up with is seeing a 60's vintage Craftsman/King Seeley fence that was used on an older Delta jointer.

I would jump all over that...that is a great and fair price...Damn man what do you want! Mike
I know, I know. It's just when you get the jointer for $90, you start getting greedy, and looking at a fence that costs more than the jointer seems a crime.
Criminally yours, H
why you should be horse whipped....man did you ever score or what!!!Good deal...major gloat.....good luck with your jointer...do you want to sell it? ha ha Mike
Good deal, jump on it.
Think of it like a boat, or a woman.
The rigging costs more than what's under it.
I bought a Jet replacement fence for their 6 inch jointer model JJ-6CSX which can be seen here
The idea I had will not work with this mount. I am willing to sell this for what I paid plus shipping. $65.00
If interested let me know.
