Great upgrade from old delta fence, greater stability and accuracy.

Now my fence is more expensive than my saw.
I think it cost as much as the table saw cost me back then!
Shipping
It arrived quickly and was exactly as described.

One of the brackets that holds the front rail was deformed and after contacting amazon, a new one was delivered from vega within two days.
That includes the time required for me to drive to home depot to buy a drill bit i needed to put a hole in the back side of the saw table.

All in all, it's probably as good as another rip fence at this price point.
There were only 4 aftermarket fences at the time (beismeyer, excalibur, delta unifence, and vega), this was the least expensive.
