Happy woodworking :lol:

Yes I have. I made a clone of the besermeyer fence and it transformed my old B&Q special. Cost was around £50 if I remember correctly. Here is the finished article:

They both look good is your one mailee got aluminium sandwiched between it and i guess its laminated mdf or ply :?:

 

[mailee]

Mine is made from steel angle and box and Yes it is MDF with HDPE sides. :wink:

 

[gedereco]

Is it clamped on front as well as back or does it have angle on front :?:

 

[mailee]

It has a large 'T' square that it uses to clamp on the rail at the front. Rear end is free but is rock solid in use. Being heavy steel it is hard to move it in use. :wink:
