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.

DeWalt Rip Fence Upgrade
It took a few minutes to install and then make sure it was 90 degrees from the table and square across the entire blade and then I was in business attaching finger boards and making cuts. I also got the sacrificial fence which is a great addition to the new fence. Well worth the money.

Partially fits SawStop CTS with modifications
Based on the dimensions, I got this fence on a gamble that I would be able to modify it to fit my SawStop CTS, which doesn't have many aftermarket upgrades available. I was able to adapt it to fit by drilling slightly offset mounting holes, and due to a difference in length there are slight (~1/4") gaps at either end where the fence meets the plastic mounting brackets, but the fit is snug and rigidity is good, so I'm okay with this trade-off. If there was a version of this fence that was a 1/2" longer it would fit the CTS perfectly with slightly different mounting hole positions. TSO, if you ever entertain the idea of making a SawStop version of this fence, please let me know!

Rip Fence for Dewalt 7492
Saw this promoted on a YouTube channel and ordered immediately. Fast shipping from the US (I'm UK based) and I'm delighted with the product. It's made a big difference being able to use my Jessem flex guides on the saw.

Rip Fence for 10" DeWalt Jobsite Table Saw
Put this replacement fence on my saw and it bolted to the original brackets perfectly didn't have to fiddle with adjustment to blade miter slot etc...dead on right away.. I Like that I can use a hold down Bering roller like in the photo along with my boa feather boards. Good job guys... Now would you make something like it for my Biesemeier fence on my cabinet saw. Worth the investment!

Dewalt table saw fence
My new Dewalt table saw fence is a much needed upgrade. Three T-tracks are great for adding accessories. Installation was easy and took a few minutes. My one gripe, however, is that the ends of the T-tracks are very sharp, and I had to file them down after installation.
