Went out to the shop this morning to mount the fence that came with the BW saw on my old saw. My dad is buying the old saw with extension table and the fence that came with the new saw as I was not about to give up the Vega fence. Mounting the Vega on the BW was a piece of cake, took less than an hour. Even mounting it on the old Delta saw was no big deal. Very well thought out design for an after market fence that it could be so easy to mount on such different saws.
Since my dad will be getting the whole setup I thought I'd go ahead and get it all set up for him. Got everything unpacked, no obvious damage, everything looked good and well made. Got the front rail in position and something didn't look right, it wasn't lineing up level with the saw and the extension table. I sighted down the rail and it is visibly bowed. I laid it on the rectangular tube and it has almost 1/4" bow from end to middle. I checked the back support rail and that one is about 3/16" off.
Guess it'll be a call to Wilkie to get new rails sent, these aren't usable as they are.
