Description
Upgrade Your SawStop CTS Table Saw for Unmatched Precision
Bring the legendary precision of SawStop® to the next level with this upgraded rip fence—engineered to deliver superior cut quality, accessory versatility, and workpiece control. This premium fence adds three integrated T-slots—two on the face and one on top—so you can easily mount accessories like JessEm Clear-Cut™ FLEX Stock Guides, featherboards, sacrificial fences, and custom jigs. The result: smoother cuts, cleaner edges, and perfectly aligned workpieces every time. Installation is simple, reusing your SawStop CTS’s original brackets and hardware, and it preserves all the stock fence’s original features.
Key Features
- Triple T-Slot Design: Three integrated T-slots (two on the face, one on top) let you mount stock guides, featherboards, auxiliary fences, and jigs to improve accuracy and workpiece control.
- Improved Cut Quality: When paired with JessEm Clear-Cut™ FLEX Stock Guides or similar accessories, you can maintain consistent fence pressure along your entire cut for smoother edges and tighter joints.
- Professional Versatility: Use the integrated T-slots to build custom jigs and setups—tall fences for vertical panels, L-fences for joinery, or specialized fixtures for repeat cuts.
- Effortless Installation: Reuses your existing SawStop CTS brackets, hardware, and adjustment mechanisms. Retains all of the stock fence’s original functionality, including its locking system and transport storage features.

JessEm Stock Guide Compatibility
This fence is fully compatible with JessEm Clear-Cut™ FLEX Stock Guides. When installed, these guides maintain consistent downward and lateral pressure to keep your material firmly against the fence. Use the included metal spacers when installing JessEm guides to accommodate the longer threaded studs used by their locking knobs.

Adjustment tips
I used some thin cardboard under the fence so the fence wouldn't rub on the table. I found that the fence didn't slide easily after installation, apparently due to binding in the saw's fence tracks. I tried loosening and retightening the screws with the fence at various different positions and eventually it slid smoothly. I also got some FLEX stock guides from Jessem. I'm happy with them, but they need to be removed to flip the low fence. The good news is that they're very easy to remove and reinstall. I plan to make a DIY fence extension out of 2080 aluminum extrusion (20mm x 80mm), attaching it to the upgraded rip fence using the lower T-slot. This slot is about 40mm above the bottom of the fence, so this will line up with the center cavity of the 2080 extrusion. Comparing the upgraded rip fence with the original fence, the upgrade is a bit taller, heavier, and probably quite a bit stiffer because it isn't completely hollow like the original fence.

More functional fence!
I recently upgraded to a SawStop CTS and was happy to find this replacement fence to allow me to use my featherboards and feed guides. It's also great for attaching an L-fence via the T-tracks. Thanks TSO!

Great Quality and Easy Install
I had my whole CTS saw fully dialed in to make precise rips with the stock fence. After replacing it with the TSO upgrade it was still fully dialed in. It appears to me to be a precise fit. I already used my Jessem Clear-Cut Stock Guides with great success. So together, the upgraded fence with the stock guides helps immensely in achieving perfect rips.
