I called Biesemeyer about getting another one. I was waiting to get the bill but I got the part the next week by UPS - no charge. I have had my Biesemeyer fence for 5 years now and love it - would buy it again in a heart beat. The operator took my name and address and told me that they would send one out. I am not sure who handled the request - called Biesemeyer, order handled by Porter Cable and sent by Dewalt great integration I can't add any more about the fence than what has been written but wanted to say that the service from Biesemeyer/Delta/Porter Cable/Dewalt is really great. I had to disassemble and reassemble my Delta Unisaw a couple of weeks ago and had misplaced the template used to align the front rail.
Took more time to make the NEW 36" table extension.First cuts after Fence aligned and Trued up to the blade were Perfect.Very happy with the Fence and ease of installation. I received the product in 5(Std Shipping) days and well it was installed in about 30 minutes. Purchased Delta BC30 30-Inch Commercial Biesemeyer Table Saw FenceHad a Older Delta contractor saw, Model 34-444 which had a Original Fence which was good for general work but not consistant in making Square or true cuts. I needed a fence that would allow both of these.
I even tested it 2", 12", 24" from the blade.perfect every time. It did take a little tweaking to align the fence, table and blade, not too bad though. However, now every cut is perfect just by using ruler on the guide. I had another well respected brand fence sitting in the box waiting until I had a workshop large enough to accommodate the longer than stock rails. Plus the Biesemeyer is built like a tank and the quality of everything is first rate. So, I went and ordered the Biesemeyer. When I took it out to install it on the saw, a 1940's Delta Unisaw, I just couldn't having previously used the Biesemeyer in a friends shop. The installation was much simpler that the other fence.
that makes it hard to get accurate cuts. Nicer than the fence that is on our powermatic model 66 (better finish and fit all around). the powermatic has some newfangled plastic on the sides which is buckled and bowed where the bolts attach (same on every saw I have seen with it). great product. the plywood sided pieces on the delta BC30 are the next best thing to a nice piece of 1/2" aluminum. for some reason amazon stocks the bc50 which has at least a third more steel in it for something like $200 less. got it much cheaper from somehwere else. (edit I just looked again and amazon now has it for a more reasonable and competitive price).This fence attached to my saw flawlessly (I have delta unisaw), and i was ready to go in no time.
Cutting into 3/16 steel isn't something that is easy for me to do.Because of these problems I returned this product to Amazon. It was expensive. I found that this rip fence did not fit my table saw. After filling out the return information on the web, Amazon stated that they would pay for return shipping. Harry Pierce I called Biesemeyer company and they told me that I would need to buy another $50 part and customize it. They did not sell a kit that would work for my table saw.
