    Biesmeyer or Unifence

    Which one would you keep and why?

    I'd keep the Uni-Fence, I'm partial to it cause that's what I got and love it.

    Along with this: http://www.ttrackusa.com/unifence.htm I think it's a little more versatile than the Biesmeyer, in my opinion.

      This is a contested issue, and mostly from the stand point that JTimmons mentions. People will often suggest the one that they have. I have a biesmeyer style fence from powermatic, and I do like it a lot. If I were to make any changes it would be to have T slots on the top as the uni fence does, but I just like the style of fence, so solid feeling.

        Are the sides of the Bies replaceable? If so, seems one could either use an extrusion, or make a fence with T track in it.

          Two great fences with different strengths. It's essentially a matter of preference, thay may be influenced by the types of cuts you make.

          The Biese tends to take top honors for being goof proof and ruggedness.
