Bandsaw Fence

[Nick Englesby]

Guys/Gals,

I need to make a simple fence for my new old bandsaw. Pictures or diagrams would be very useful as I tend to way over engineer most everything.

Thanks

How simple can it get? I clamp this to my 12" BS with the pointed hardboard even with the front edge of the teeth. Bear in mind I have a 6" max resaw height but this works stupidly well. I laugh everytime I use it but, it works great.

Mark Dugenskie's book on bandsaws and the companion video shows how to make one from a couple of scaps that is adjustable for drift and micro adjustable 0.004 for width. Biggest cost is a carriage bolt and a pack of Post-It notes. Love mine!

I think I'm going to try and find someone that cut off their 52" table saw rails, (biesmeyer or unifence)get the cut-offs and get a new head unit.

Here's one I plan to make soon. I suspect it might be a bit over-engineered already:

I'm going to make one, but without the taper. And, I'll put inserts in both sides of the main fence so that it can be drift-adjusted for either side of the blade.

Mine will ride on wooden rails with a micro-adjustable stop block.
