Wanted Bandsaw rip fence

[SLM]

Does anyone have a rip fence suitable for a bandsaw?

Anything considered; I’m happy to repair or adapt to suit my machine.

Thanks very much!

The two that come to mind are the one Record sells which is the same as that on their Sabre saws

and the Kreg aftermarket one

The advantage of the Record one is it can be used either side of the blade, ideal when the table is tilted.

Thank you, that’s used to know.

I fitted the Kreg one - it can be used either side of the blade but the rail fits tight up against the table so needs to be removed to change the blade. Looks like the Record one above keeps the blade change slot free?

Granted nearly all the sales pictures of it show it installed on machines where the blade has to be rotated 90° before pulling it though the edge of the table so the fence support rail can be fixed snug upto the edge of the table but, with some simple stand offs you can have the blade exiting the table on the support rail side like in the first attached image, or you can go the Paul Sellers route and bolt the support rail flush but then cut it into two pieces where the blade needs to come through it at changing time as per the second image.

I havent a photo but I fitted the axminster one and am happy with it. Only issue is if your blade comes off via the front of the saw you have to remove the guide rail (as Terry has explained). Can either cut through it or mount it using thumbscrews - I mounted mine using thumbscrews and remove each time which is a slight faff. Maybe one day I'll do the cutting job as suggested above!
