Yes, the Kreg is very nice but a bit small for my machine and there's no UK suppliers.

Yes - the profiles in their literature look very interesting - http://www.8020.net/PDF/Fractional%20Section%201.pdf. What I need is a similar UK outlet ....

Hi Philip,

I have some 60x30x585. it has 2 tee slots on the 60mm faces and 1 slot on the 30mm faces. You can fasten wood or mdf to it to make it taller, this is Aluminium extrusion so is very stiff in both planes and wont bend. If its any good let me know and I'll post it out to you.
Hope this is of some help, I might even have some tee nuts and screws in stainless I'll have a hunt around.

Its very simular to the picture in the post above

Have just come across a design for a bandsaw fence in a US woodworking machinery restoriation site. Very interesting:
