Fence for Jet 16" bandsaw

[Thomas Crawford]

I just purchased a Jet 16" bandsaw off craigslist. It didn't come with a fence, what kind should I look at?

Tom,

There is a fence for an 18" Jet Bandsaw listed in the classifieds section. I don't know if it will work for you but it might be worth checking out.

Thanks, not ready to jump on the Jet branded fence yet.

Looks like the Kreg system will fit if I drill 1 additional hole in the rail, but they advertise it as fitting most 14" saws. So is it really too small for the 16"?

I should mention that I also need a miter gauge.

Laguna makes about the slickest bandsaw fence going-the Driftmaster. Spendy though.

That fence in the classifieds is mine. If your table is 19" wide it will work. But if you are serious about resawing, the laguna driftmaster is the "bomb". And, its on sale at Amazon. See the Deals forum.

The Driftmaster from Laguna is $275 shipped so it is not TOOOO far out of line from the price of double the Kreg. I think it is worth that.
