30 to 50? or I should have know

[Al Willits]

I've had a chance to play with my 10" Delta Hybrid saw for a bit and I see where a 50" fence set up would be a major plus...mine has a 30".
Just wondering if all I need to change to a 50" is the bar that the fence rides on and maybe a bit more table??

Planing on puting extensions anyway, so I'd like a bit longer fence rail, or whatever its called.

I'm figuring finding one of these used is gonna be about par to finding a 12" jointer used for $500 in mint shape...:)

Once again...tia

Yes, in most cases, it's a matter of supplying a longer rail set and extension table. There are a few fence systems that also require a special rear rail, but the majority do not. (The rear angle iron rail is largely to support the extension table and is cheap to put a longer one on)
