Seems we don't even get the option of buying the whole Master rip kit in the EU.
Should someone find a suitable high/low sliding extrusion like on the Harvey, then I'd like to know,
as seemingly Grizzly don't seem to be keen on offering parts, for the likes of the G0899, but perhaps they would accommodate one who already has a Grizz?

Should you be able get such an extrusion, then I wouldn't be too worried about adapting something or other if need be,
as I see that Shop fox machine has basically the same Biesemeyer fence design being utilized.
I'd imagine one could fix whatever might be wrong with it, if they looked at Askwoodman's videos,

Or Steve Maskery's no welding version.

I personally would reach out to Harvey and ask them. I have had great experience with Harvey Customer Service and Tech Support in the past. Not sure if that's still the case but assume they haven't changed much in that regard. If your table depth is the same as a Harvey top then I would like to think it would work. Since that fence design clamps down on both ends of the top I assume that the depth of the top is a critical measurement. I'm not super familiar with the technical details of the fence so am not sure if that system has an adjustment to accommodate different table top depth sizes.
