Upgraded rip fence
Took longer to remove factory ztock ril fence than to attach new fence. Loved the ability to install a spoiler board, was ripping 1.75 inch boatd in .5 strips. Aligned fence to miter slot to blade and had no problems. So glad I heard about TSO.

Best Job Site Table Saw Upgrade
This TSO rip fence was ordered to install on the DeWALT DWE7491RS 10” table saw. A few months ago I invested in the BOW 46” extender fence, and built three out-feed support attachments (free plans found on-line by Taylor ToolWorks)… That system is great and really adds important features, especially for a lot of long stock. For most of the work I do at various job sites, adding all those additional table saw parts in the truck, and setting it up is generally not needed. However, the stock fence is really not good… That’s where the TSO rip fence comes in. It’s priced well for anyone to afford. It adds great support, with added fence hight, and added safety options, by being able to add feather boards and other attachments. This is the best upgrade for keeping form/fit/function of the “job site” table saw. It was very easy to install and get it squared up. I also ordered a pair of Jessem Clear Cut stock guides to use with the fence. The combination has made using the table saw an absolute pleasure. For anyone looking at the TSO rip fence…”YES!”… I say, this TSO upgraded rip fence is mandatory for your saw.
