Much needed upgrade
My old fence arrived with a dent in it from the factory when I bought my table saw from Home Depot. It made my cuts extremely hard to make and dangerous to make the cuts. I got this fence and the moment I installed it. It was as if my wood working changed and I actually started to enjoy woodworking more than I had ever expected. I highly recommend this fence. It also allowed me to use the tso stock guide guides which I had for months but no way to use them. I used them once and then got annoyed with them to I tossed them in the tool cabinet and never looked back other then once and ended up taking them off again. The clear cut stock guides or w/e there called are useless.. they create a higher chance of becoming injured.. there right in the way when making smaller cuts so the only option was to remove them or pissing cut off some fingers and that was not something I would want to risk

Almost great but bowed
While I like it, I was dismayed when I put my run-out gauge on the new fence. The aluminum extrusion appears to bow somewhat; I get zero run out at both front and back ends, but it is 0.015 under at the middle. Not huge, but a lot worse than the stock DeWalt fence extrusion was!!! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're sorry to hear about your concerns with the fence extrusion. Please reach out to our customer support team so we can look into this further and help resolve the issue. - TSO Products Customer Care Team

Great Fence.
Took a few minutes to install. Extra fasteners included. Worth the investment.
