I installed this fence in 20 minutes on my oldie but goodie Rockwell 14" bandsaw, and was soon re-sawing 1/8" slips off of 4" high rift sawn white oak. The package includes the correct bolts for for my saw {not sure exactly what size they are-not 1/4" -20, but close} and also for metric holes. It's a real pleasure when you buy a product that lives up to your expectations of good design, build quality, and effectiveness.

I installed this on a 14 inch Jet that I use for resawing. It was very easy to get the fence square with the table and tracking with the cut. I was surprised to find that I could cut a very thin slice that was dead on accurate with very little fuss.

I am very happy with this fence. I have a Craftsman 10" saw and had to tap some holes in order to fit the Kreg on, but it was well worth it.

The fence is very nice, but the existing holes in my Reliant 14" table are too high. To make it work I had to lower the fence assembly by putting some 3/4 X 2 1/2 wide oak between my table and the new guide. I used wood screws to attach to oak through the existing holes from inside the table. Before attaching, I cut a slot in the oak for the miter. I used wood screws to attach the guide to the oak and was able to lower it so the assembly was flush with the table when assembled. I don't have the tools to drill and tap the cast iron table, so this works fine.

Customer Rating:
Super easy to install, excellent instructions. I love this fence! And swapping between the normal fence and the low fence is just a matter of loosening the bolts, turning the fence around and reinserting the bolts. It's so easy, which means I do it every time, and that makes the bandsaw both safer and gives me better cuts with the guide assembly where it's supposed to be.
I also ordered the micro-precision adjustment thingy highly technical term there, but honestly, I don't use it, and it can get in the way. So it's off the fence for now until I need super precise cuts, which is about never.
But the basic fence? Super. Awesome. Simple.

I installed the Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence on my 14" Delta band saw without a hitch. The mounting holes matched up perfectly. Although I somehow manaaged to mount the stick-on ruler a 1/16" off (not surprising) but that is not a problem since I always double check with a carpenters rule to make sure the cut ends up correct.
From the time I opened the box to making my first cut was less than 15 minutes...Yes, it is that easy to install!
The Micro-Adjuster for Kreg Band Saw Fence lets you get your setup correct without "playing" with the setup endlessly. The fence itself is very stable once you tighten it down, which enables me to make repetitive cuts without resetting the fence.
I would recommend the Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence and the Micro-Adjuster for Kreg Band Saw Fence to anybody looking for a moderately priced band saw fence system.

Excellent quality and easy to install. The instructions are easy to follow. I had to be sure to get the mounting rail low enough that the nylon adjustment screws would not set higher than the castiron table top of my 14 inch Delta bandsaw. I have found the Micro adjuster worth having also.

Excellent product, works really well, worth the money spent. The only problem I found was no assembly instruction.
I went to the Kreg website and downloaded a 12 page owners Manual on assembly on use of the precision Band Saw Fence.
Editor's note: these instructions are linked in the left hand side bar of tis offer.

With two minor flaws, I find the Kreg Band Saw Fence a well made tool. The directions & installation was easy. The problem came up when I went to install the micro adjuster. The threaded brass bushing in the clamp block seems to have been distorted on insertion as it would bind up on the threads of the adjuster knob. This was fixed with a 1/4" 20 tap. The micro adjuster also bound up when it was tightened down on the rail. This was cured by adding a shim to keep the micro adjuster aligned with the bushing in the clamp block. These flaws can be easily fixed & make this band saw fence still well worth the price.

Well built. Instructions are very clear. I installed this on a Craftsman 12" bandsaw. I had to drill and tap two holes to do so but the job was easy and the fence fits and works perfectly.

This is a very good attachment if you plan on resawing lumber. A properly tuned saw helps also. The instructions show keeping the thick part of the stock between the blade and the resaw guide. I've found that I set the resaw fence to the approximate thickness on the pieces I want after the resawing (Making veneer), that way I don't have to readjust the fence after every cut.

A great deal of time was spent searching the internet for 12" Delta fence. I was convinced the Kreg was the way to go, as all advertisements stated "will not fit 12" bandsaw". The Kreg bolted right up with the factory holes! All pieces fit perfectly to the bandsaw and there are several Kreg adjustments built into the fence. Very pleased with the Kreg fence!

It was the wrong size for our small band saw. Somehow I missed the size.
