I am just getting into woodworking, and I have a bit of a dilemna that I wasn't able to resolve with the search feature.
I bought a run of the mill contractor saw to get going from craigslist. It came with a nice Freud blade, but the fence is worthless. So I need to get a new fence which got me looking into Incra, Biesemeyer, Vega et. al. Since I don't have a lot of tools, the more versatility I can squeeze out of my table saw the better I will be. But I am apprehensice about dropping $300-$400 on a fence on a cheap contractor saw.
I want to build furniture, and I am a perfectionist, so a good fence seems like it is a must. My train of thought is that I can always transition any fence onto my next saw. But I wonder if I am putting lipstick on a pig.
So how bad of an idea is it to put a high dollar fence on a contractor saw? Thanks for the help.
