Looking for a better rip fence for my old Craftsman table saw
Jun 5, 2021 · I have an old Craftsman table saw. Probably about 45 years old. Cast table (27" front to back) with steel extensions and the included POS twist to lock fence.

Table Saw Fence - Left Side of Blade | Woodworking Talk
Sep 22, 2019 · I just recently used my fence on the right side of the blade on my bandsaw.

Jan 9, 2017 · I recently got my hands on a Craftsman 10" Benchtop Table Saw (Model #113.221740). The problem is that the original rip fence has long been lost.

Table saw fence using round guide rails? | Woodworking Talk
Nov 10, 2014 · I have a Hammer K3 saw that has one round rail for the fence to ride on, it doesn't require a second rail to lock the back of the fence.
