My last mod to do on my bandsaw is rip off the Craftsman Universal Bandsaw fence (DONE), and replace it with a good fence.
I have heard good things about the Kreg Precision bandsaw fence aside from the fact it is only a single rail model and I can add the 2nd rail to support IF I am using the fence past the end of the table which would likely not happen.
The question I have is reviewers seem to think the holes are in the wrong place. on the table, drilled too high... but those same reviews say the miter slot is undersized on the saw (it is not). And for the most part the complaints are about the newer gray saws under a different item number which makes me think there was a production change.
I am thinking of just getting the fence and installing anyway, possibly getting my BIL to elnongate the Kreg mounting holes if I need the rail to sit lower than the holes will allow...
Does anyone have this fence on this particular saw? Was mounting a problem?
