rip fence replacement

[karlpolly10]

Hi, i have a charnwood 629 table saw, does anyone know if there is a upgrade rip fence system that will fit this saw, the one that comes with it is very basic and not that accurate. regards Karl.

Lots of guys on here have replaced table saw rip fence's with the upgrade band saw fence from Axminster: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ri ... ade-100205

Had the Axminster fence for some time and am very happy with it, like all new kit it took a bit of tweeking to get it right from out of the box.
Did a write on it a couple of years ago. You should find it from the search box. Not sure if it would fit your kit, somebody on here wil know.

One of steve maskery's dvds shows you how to make a biesesmeyer style fence, another thing on my long list of things to do, it looks excellent and looks easy enough to make.

I too have the charnwood 629 and want to upgrade the fence. I am thinking about building a system using the verysupercooltools fence upgrade.

Incidentally, how do you find the dust collection - I find it all collecting in the blade height winder space and mostly all over the floor.
