Upgraded Rip Fence for DeWalt Jobsite Table Saws

Transform Your DeWalt Saw with this Precision Rip Fence

Take your DeWalt® 8¼" or 10" jobsite table saw to another level with this Upgraded Rip Fence, designed to bring precision, versatility, and convenience to your woodworking projects. This affordable fence upgrade adds three T-slots—two on the face and one on the top—allowing you to easily mount essential accessories like stock guides, featherboards, sacrificial fences, and custom jigs. Installation is easy using DeWalt's original fence brackets, and the upgrade preserves all of your stock fence’s original functionality.

Choose Your Saw Model

This product is available in two versions to fit the most popular DeWalt portable table saws. Please select your saw model before adding to cart:

Key Features

• Triple T-Slot Design: Allows easy attachment of essential accessories like stock guides, feather boards, auxiliary fences, and custom jigs.
• Compatible with JessEm Stock Guides: Pair this fence with JessEm Clear-Cut FLEX Stock Guides to reduce the potential for kickback by simultaneously holding down and guiding material accurately against the fence.
• Build Your Own Jigs: Integrated T-slots allow for easy attachment of custom jigs like tenoning systems, tall fences for upright panel support, L-fences, and more. The possibilities are endless, giving you the flexibility to adapt the fence to your specific project needs.
• Easy Installation: This upgraded fence reuses the existing DeWalt brackets and hardware and shares the same overall dimensions, so you’ll retain all the original features of your stock rip fence, such as the secondary flip-over fence for narrow and wide rips, built-in push-stick clips, and secure under-saw storage for transport.
