Summary: Timothy the Tool Man
Comment: I would have given it 5 stars but the resaw guide is not very tall and I will have to make my own. I love the guide and don't think that I would give it up. It was easy to install and adjust and has not needed a reset. I have used it so many ways and it have not given me a bad cut.

Summary: Great fence
Comment: This same fence came standard on my 21" 3 HP Jet bandsaw. I've had it for over a year now and it has worked well for me. Granted, I don't use my band saw a lot and I never had a fence on my 14" bandsaw , so I've nothing to compare it to except the Beismeyer on my table saw. It' not as hefty as that, but is sturdy and accurate and for that price I think a good buy.

Summary: Great fence for the price!
Comment: I installed this fence on my RIDGID 14" bandsaw. It went on with no problems although I too had to drill a hole in the bottom of the fence about an inch back from the factory hole which mounts the rear rail slider. Not a big deal, it is designed for a Jet after all, which apparently has a slightly longer table than the RIDGID.

After putting it all together, I had it all squared up in a matter of a few minutes. The adjustments are pretty basic, mostly just tilting the rails a bit until the fence is square with the table, then adjusting it square with the miter gauge slots.

For the money, it seems you can't go wrong with this fence!

Summary: Jet Bandsaw Fence JRF-14R
Comment: I just (May 2008) installed the fence on my Jet 14" bandsaw, and thought I would add a review to those already here.

Despite a couple of minor things, the assembly of the fence to the bandsaw was quite straightforward. The minor issues were:

1) The telephone number (253-351-6000)on the front of the manual didn't work for me, and it was not an 800 number. After going to WMH's website, the Tech Support number is 800-274-6846.

2) The manual says "...using two M5x20 hex screws, 2 1/4" lock washers and 2 1/4" lock washers..." It doesn't tell you where the lock washers go in relationship to the parts. A call to Tech Support cleared up that the lock washers go just under the head of the screws. Perhaps I should have known that, but I didn't.

3) The holes drilled and tapped into the Guide Rail were a bit burred and I had a little difficulty getting two of the screws started.

4) Adjusting the height above the fence at the rear is a function of where you set the sliding pad with the hex nut you put on. Took me a couple of minutes to figure that out, but it worked well.

I notice there is no adjustment to allow for blade drift as I have seen on some fences. The fence lock seems a bit stiff, but I assume it will loosen up with use.

The fence itself is lighter than I expected it to be. The finish on the rails is excellent. The dial pointer is too high from the measuring rule, introducing far too much parallax in the readings.

Was it worth the price? Sure. Could Jet make a few changes and make it better? In my opinion, yes.
