Did a quick search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Here is your chance to let us know what fence you use and if you like it or would you like to try another one.
I have a Incra and love it.

This might make a good poll question.
I've got a unifence, but have never used it (new saw, not assembled). I bought the t-track fence when I bought the saw, It's still in the box too.
I had a Delta jetlock fence on my last CS, Liked it, but the unifence IS an upgrade.

Incra TSLS52. Much better than the stock fence, but has its issues; I think it's because of the mobile base, though.
I like my Vega with 50" cut.
Beismeyer...very solid

I use a 1950's vintage Sears Craftsman.

I have the unifence on my grandfathers sears TS, wish grandpa could see it, he could never keep that old sears fence aligned.

I have a Beismeyer clone that needs to be set up, but also have used a Beismeyer itself and really like it.

Incra TS-3a....
I have two beefs with Incra:
The rails hurt like crazy when you gouge yourself on 'em. They need some bumper pads inserted in each end...or something.
When ripping wide, the t-bar section of the fence sticks waaaay out but that is the design of the piece, unfortunately.
Other than that, I love the fence.
Ed, I went through the fence selection process last year after I bought my Bridgewood 10LTS.
I decided on an Incra package deal from Woodpeckers. I included the 52 TSLS fence, a router table, the Wonder fence joinery package, and a filler table to finish out the length of the fence rails. It is their package #8 on their website.
Thus far, I have no complaints with the entire package. Any problems to date have been operator problems as I learn how to use it.
The fence is a piece of cake to use. When you set it to 4 inches and make a cut, it will be 4 inches plus of minus a couple thousandths. You can come back next week, and get idential results.
I must say that I was somewhat prejudice since Incra is made about 40 miles from me, and WoodPecker is located about 40 miles from where I lived in Ohio. If you aren't too critical, you can make a case for "keeping it in the family."
There are several excellent fences in the market place, I don't think you will be disappointed with any of them

Original Xacta-Fence (Biesemeyer clone) on my Jet Cabinet Saw. I'm toying with getting a UniFence for it, however, as I love that thing and with the auxiliary Uni-Tee fence from Might-T-Track, Inc, jigging is not an issue. Of course, I'd prefer to have a Euro sliding table saw and not have to worry about such things, but the Prize Patrol still hasn't visited...with a big check in-hand

Beismeyer on the cabinet saw and the Mule Accusquare on an older Craftsman saw, like them both.

Commercial Beisemeyer.
Don't want any other.
Ed, I currently have a Biesemeyer fence on my new saw which is very nice. I'm impressed with it's accuracy once it was set up properly. I had an Accusquare fence on my old saw which I sold to a SMC member that I liked better than the Bies. It was easier to adjust, and took less effort to lock down. Sure hope it's new owner likes it!
