    The early ones were light green (wadkin type colour). Then they changed to dark blue about twenty years ago approx. Many would argue that the early ones are better made. Although I am a huge fan of there machines old and new. I'm going to there factory in the next few weeks to collect my new...

    Although, I still like the idea of the incra fence incorporating my router table on the right of the saw, freeing up space elsewhere. But its not cheap, but looks quality. Would it be a good compliment to the saw.

    Definitely keeping with sedgwick. After all your comments last night I had to go back out to the workshop to peruse it. And it is a lovely bit of kit. Hope the wife didn't see me stroking it! The front handle that Cabinetman talks about is missing. It Has been from when I bought it. The bar is...

    Good advice thanks, I have had a few goes at the fence but to no avail, but maybe another try would be helpful. It does seem everyone is in agreement to keep the sedgwick , no endorsements for the axminster.

    I appreciate the offer, but I would keep the old fence in case I sell the saw later but keep the incra. And I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet. But thanks

    Sedgwick or axminster?

    Thats a really good idea! Thanks, I have spare t track from a previous mitre saw bench. My saw is very solid and reliable and I'm happy with it other than the fence, so maybe the incra saw fence wrapped around my router table on the right saving space in the workshop.

    Nothing seems to be missing, I've had the saw about ten years, its like a cam system, but sometimes it does not lock correctly, feels fine but starts to slip when putting a batch of cuts through.

    Sedgwick or axminster?

    The locking mechanism is unpredictable. 8 times out of ten its fine. But sometimes it slips away as I push my stock through, really annoying! I've tried to solve it but it keeps happening. I've been quoted a small fortune for a new fence, thats why I am considering the incra system.

    Thanks for the quick reply, The sedgwick is my gut feeling too,
