KREG® Precision Band Saw Fence

Product Information

I'm resawing the wood so I can "book match" the sides of the box, making it look like all sides of the box are one continuous grain pattern. The fence cut this piece of peruvian walnut and another (not pictured) piece of cherry with no trouble. Hey everyone, I’m a beginner at woodworking but recently acquired an old delta 28-560 bandsaw that’s got a really nice cast iron top with a miter slot. Here I'm cutting a piece of "Peruvian walnut," which will be used on an upcoming instructable I'm currently writing - making a keepsake box.

Delta bandsaw, I figured it would be used only for curved work, like rough-cutting cabriole legs, so I didn’t bother purchasing a fence for it.The tooth setting was affected as well, causing the blade to drift upwards since it stopped cutting below the center of the kerf. That shortsighted decision has come back to haunt me, as I’ve gradually found many reasons for making straight cuts on the bandsaw, including resawing and stopped cuts such as inside corners.

If you have an aluminium sash clamp like the ones I use, screw a piece of wood to the side of the clamp and then set the shoes to suit your table. The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence easily adjusts to your blades drift angle to provide you with a new level of band saw accuracy. A hardwood spacer pushes the rail away from the front of the bandsaw table so the fence can ride on it.Only issue I found was the 2 nylon slotted screws, used to adjust the leveling of the fence, protrude about ,015″. People do different things with their bandsaws and make them do things that they were not meant to do and for a wide range of reasons, not the least of which can be laziness and being unskilled in other areas like using hand tools. Alternatively, just make the base longer so it overhangs the table a bit, with plently of space for clamps. This appears an excellent fence, designed by Mark Dukinske, author of the very clear book 'The New Complete Guide to the Bandsaw'. Features a rigid and easily removable aircraft-grade aluminium fence, that adjusts in 2 dimensions to compensate for blade drift.
