Looking for resaw fence for a 20" Rockwell

[Jack Graham]

I have a Rockwell Model 20 Vertical Band saw, 28x 3X0, serial number 1810285. The table is 20 inches wide and 24.25 inches deep.

I would like to locate a good resaw fence. Any suggestions?

Carter makes a magnetic fence that will fit just about any bandsaw. It has super strong magnets that don't move easily. Delta makes a smaller uni fence for bandsaws. You could always just make one, they're not super difficult.

Jack,
I'm working on a 18" Parks and planning to build the following fence:

It allow for drift adjustment and allows you to use your miter slots.

If you adjust your blade tracking to where the gullet of the blade rides just a little bit in front of the crown (whoch gives better support to the tooth) and have proper blade tension you should never have drift, ever ( unless your blade is hosed).

What about the grizzly resaw fence? I really like it. They should have one for 20 inch tables...

I've been really happy with my Laguna DriftMaster fence on my 19" Grizzly bandsaw. I have both the short and tall fences, and the combo covers all of my needs.

I had a lot of trouble with finding a proper fence for my Oliver. I finally bought a couple of 40mm MagSwitches and they have worked perfectly.

I did the same thing for my Crescent Heavy 20, John. Made a pretty respectable rip fence from some scraps and a couple of MagSwitches.

Thanks for all you ideas. I will look into all and advise you what I ended up doing. Thanks again. Jack Graham

If you can find a used Unifence, they make a pretty good fence for a Rockwell 20". I put one on our saw at school when I upgraded the Unisaw to a Bies. Lots of people have done that so you might not have too much trouble finding one.
