Bought used BTS10 - need fence, blade

[saidiadude]

Hello, I bought a used BTS10 for $20 from a contractor. It's been worked hard but is sufficient for me while I save money for a better TS. Getting started, some newbie questions:

- Where can I get a good fence for this TS (cheap)? Is there an easy way to make one? Currently I'm using a 2x6 clamped onto the TS - not very accurate or easy to adjust :-(

- Where can I purchase good blades? Saw some cheapie 10" blades at BigLots for $6, I think. Are these any good? Need one for carpentery and one for light woodworking.

Thx for your help.

no, All fences are expensive. A $6 blade would be fine for carpendry, if you don't care what thee cuts look like, but for woodworking, A (semi) decent blade is in order. Mabye a Freud TRk406. I would sell it onm ebay, and you might get a stupided enought bidder that you will have a lot of money twoards a bt3100.

You may be able to purchase just the fence from Eyobi.

You may find a fence in the classfieds on this forum when someone is parting a saw out.
