After 10, then 15, and now 50 years…… These once resilient rubber bushings are rock hard, egg-shaped, cracked… There is no more “flex” in the clamping system. The adjustment wasn’t that critical because the lever arm inside the head casting was supported on a very resilient rubber bushing and could flex as required to allow the clamping components at both ends of the fence equalize. This new fence was supposed to lock the front head casting square with the rail by pushing down on the ball knob and lever and, at the same time, lock the rear of the fence at the back rail. With this second generation of our redesigned internal components for the Jet-lock fence, your fence will lock securely to the front rail and allow for finger tightening of the rear rail clamp, the same way as was proven so reliable with the earlier Delta Micro-set fence. This sale is for one (1) complete kit to eliminate the poorly designed Delta Jet-lock single levers simultaneous clamping of the front casting and the rear rail on your vintage table saw fence. Most fences that I see have a little saw blade shadow on the blade side where it got too closeĪll that said, I've never found it so much a problem that I'd want to change to something else.Introducing the GEN II conversion kit to make your vintage Delta Unisaws J. Also, at least on mine, there is no indexing tape measure on the left side of the blade If you need to switch from the fence on the right to the left (e.g., you are doing bevels on a right-tilt saw), you have to take the fence off and move it to the other side as it's not reversible (see con #1) Not a big deal, but you can't just slide it over the blade. Hard to get a jig that straddles the fence because there is no square back side and the guide extends beyond the fence in the near side height is somewhat adjustable, so you can raise enough to not have sawdust become a problem Lower one is thin so would work well if you are trimming a piece that has laminate or veneer applied Or if you want to go European mode, so fence stops at back of blade to avoid pinching if the wood has a little spring in it can pull the fence back so you can use as a cross-cut stop without it being where the blade is. I have the UniFence, since I got my saw after Biesmeyer came out but before Delta started putting them on.
