Vega Saw Fence System
By Richard
This is the best fence I have ever used or seen. It's accuracy and ease of adjustment is unmatched. You can one hand adjust and set the lock. I have owned and used this system weekly for over two years, and never had to readjust the fence. Removal of the fence is also a one hand operation, just lift off and stow away.

By A Customer
I upgraded an old Craftsman table saw fence with the bottom-of-the-line Vega aftermarket fence a few years ago. This old saw had the stock fence which clamped at both ends. It inevitably clamped a little off perpendicular each time, and no adjustment helped. The Vega fence required drilling a couple of holes, as the existing holes did not match. But accuracy was not crucial; it was easy to square up the fence after installation. The Vega fence does not require frequent readjustment. It is very easily removed for crosscutting. It holds position very well, and returns to the same place easily. The micro-advance feature is unnecessary, since the fence slides very easily, with little stiction. It has held up well under years of outdoors boatbuilding abuse, as well as in-shop furniture making, with frequent dragging of the saw over rough terrain (which usually necessitates a variety of table and blade readjustments). The bottom line: the Vega fence helped make a bad saw into a pretty good one (in combination with top-of-the-line blades, a rolling base, a sliding crosscut table and an alignment kit). If you want to keep an old saw, you should upgrade the fence, if only as a safety measure - I used to get kickbacks and stalls all the time, now I never do.

By A Customer
All I can say about this fence is WOW! If you have an existing saw that you are thinking about replacing due to the terrible standard fence performance....DON'T. Save yourself $1000 and just buy this fence. I put it on 10 year old Craftsman contractor saw and now I cut "dead on" boards. The micro-adjust eliminates the annoying task of "bumping" the fence back and forth to get the measurement crosshair to the desired measurement. You simply move the fence to within about an inch of where you want it and lock down the smaller of the two handles. Then you spin a micro-adjust wheel to slowly move the fence to the exact measurement viewed through a clear window with crosshair...and lock down the larger handle. You are ready to go. The fence also stays exactly where you lock iot down, even with a tremendous amount of force pushed against it...very precise machining here. This fence is extremely simple to install and it was perfectly parallel to the blade/miter slot right out of the box. Get this fence and you will never regret it.
The only negative is that you cannot effectively use a featherboard clamped to the fence in the vertical position. Because the far end of the fence only glides on the back rail (it doesn't clamp) any upward force from a board being pushed through, and up against a featherboard, lifts the far end of the fence off the back rail. This is only a minor inconvenience if any at all.
