Replacement fence for my kity 1619

[MrYorke]

Hi

Any ideas if I can get a replacement fence for my kity 1619 table saw?

I'd prefer an after market version if it were available.

My current fence is beyond repair unfortunately as the handle/thread to tighten it has sheared off.

Cheers

Either ebay or maybe make your own? Have a look on youtube/ google for making a biesemeyer fence.

+1.

Aftermarket fences are common across the pond, but not so here. somebody was selling one not so long ago in the forsale saction- I bought his first one.

+ 2 The biesemeyer is a rugged bit of kit.

Will the biesemeyer clamp ok on the existing rail or do you think it'll need modifying?

Saying that the chinese made 619 is still available.

The rail looks identical to the 1619? So maybe ask if a spare fence can be obtained?

i think that it will need modifying- normally 50x50mm box section

+1 for 50x50 rails. Standard size off the shelf. You can make one with virtually no metalworking skills beyond sawing, drilling and tapping. No welding. I used a toggle clamp as the locking mechanism. It's rock solid and as smooth as a baby's nether regions. Total cost about £60, and that included the top-quality toggle clamp.

Hi

Axminster do an after market 'upgrade' if you don't want to make your own .... http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-rip-fence-upgrade not sure how robust it would be compared to an all steel biesmeyer though.
