Also the fact that the table on the saw is pre-drilled for the fence is a heavy bonus. One other reviewer pointed out that the instructions are unclear when it comes to which side of the saw takes which rail during assembly and I completely agree. Once I figured it out though the fence itself is very sturdy and very accurate. All in all a very well made product. I like that the fence hooks onto the back rail (giving two points of locking) and increases reliability/accuracy.
Bummer. Talk about deceptive advertising. The picture of this product shows both fences. You would at least tell a person that the other guide is not included. Only the rip fence and resaw guide comes with this product.
I purchased this instead of the blue high price non-Jet model because it hooks at the back of the fence rail as well as on the front. Its not whiz bang, gee golly but it works and its accurate. Took about an hour to install, the only hitch make sure the brace that holds the front rail on, is mounted on the front side of the table, not the back as the instructions kind of indicate.
However the fence guide itself has to be reduced in length by about 1 inch and then a new hole was needed to be drilled to allow for the back rail guide. fence guid is alluminum. half hour to 45 min. Everything bolts right on to the saw. Since Ridgid discontinued their rip fence, i searched for other alternitives.
with a drill press and metal cut off saw and basic precision tools, scale square, etc. Saw a review about this fence and its use on a ridgid and purchased it. Once that was done normal adjustments more set and i was ready to work. very good product Modification took approx.
I would have given it 5 stars but the resaw guide is not very tall and I will have to make my own. I have used it so many ways and it have not given me a bad cut. 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.
