i am looking to upgrade the fence on my bandsaw (17" general international). at this point i am looking at the kreg fence that lee valley has. does any one have recommendations on a good after market fence.

thanks,
michael

The best fence is the Laguna Driftmaster but is pricey. The Kreg is a solid fence also. What is your budget?

at this point i haven't set a budget, not to say that i have an unlimited amount to spend. i just don't cost to be my first deciding factor. i am more concerned with quality and functionality.

cheers,
michael

Does Kreg make a fence for a 17" bandsaw? Everything I've seen says it only fits most 14" saws

There is no BS fence out there, at any price, as versatile as the Driftmaster.

I agree with what others have said -- the DriftMaster is awesome -- easy to adjust, smooth and allows for precision movement. Well worth the money IMHO.
