All you Biesemeyer fence owners, how do you attach accessories to this fence? I don’t like the idea of spending few hundreds bucks (on original Biesemeyer accessories) for attaching a sacrificing fence, hold down attachments and other jigs. A salesman at Woodcraft told me it’s better to drill on top instead of the faces (sides), any idea?<O:p</O:p

I clamp mine from the back side of the fence. Also you can make ones that straddle the fence there are alot of plans out there for the bies....

I use Festool clamps to secure stop blocks and sacrificial fences to my b-meyer fence. The nice thing about these clamps is that the end of the clamp will fit into a 1/2 in hole. These clamps look like a very square C. So I just drill the holes into some 3/4 in MDF or birch plywood stick the clamp into the hole and attach to the backside of the fence. It works just like the b-meyer accesories but is much cheaper. Festool sells a set of two clamps for $30.
