View Full Version : Replace Bandsaw Fence with Original or After-Market?

I bought a used Grizzly GO555X 14" Extreme Bandsaw, which usually comes with a fence (plus a second resaw fence). However, the saw I bought has neither fence.

Should I replace both fences by ordering new ones through Grizzly. Or should I buy something from the after-market (Kreg, Incra, etc.)?

The prices seem to be comparable.

I don't have grizzly saws, but I have two grizzly fences. I really like their BS fences. The price is reasonable too. I say grizzly.

Thanks. I know some people really like the Kreg, but I'm inclined to go with your suggestion. Much appreciated.

I'm okay with both. I have aftermarket parts and OEM for the old broken parts of my saw. However, I sometimes prefer the oem.
