I'm taking delivery of a 10" tablesaw with extension tables in about 5 weeks.
It's a General and comes with a Biesemeyer fence. Should I exchange the Biesemeyer and get an HTC fence system instead?
First, I have to talk the dealer into making the switch. The fences cost about the same, and I'm sure he can sell the Biese quickly.
This would help me plan my newly built shop by shifting router duties over to the extension on the saw. I can do that with either fence, but the HTC offers:
Micro adjusting
A router fence attachment with DC
Replaceable faces on the main fence
I've already signed the check, so all this would be extra work. Is it worth it to give the machine dealer grief about this? Is the HTC equal to or better than the Biesemeyer it would replace? Will I end up with an equal or better router fence to, say, a Veritas or BenchDog?
