I aim on making a fence for my bandsaw, either the conventional type or a magnetic fence.
I'd like to get some feedback on the magnetic fence is someone has used one.

These are screenshots. The magnetic fence is designed by Vogt Toolworks. You position the fence and engage the magnets. The fence has a lip that registers against the front edge of the table to keep it aligned with the blade.
I like the idea of the magnetic fence. It's seems neater, without the cumbersome plywood rail on the front.
The basic fence can have resaw attachments that you can pop on and off too.
But looks can be deceiving and I'd like to hear how it is in real life. Speculations are welcome too.
thanks, Mark
