Vega U26 Table Saw Fence System: 36-Inch Fence Bar, 26-Inch to Right Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Review: An after-market fence is a fantastic way to ratchet up the performance of a basic table saw, turning it into a precision tool. And this Vega system is easy to install and a pleasure to use, with a very agreeable price for passionate woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers. The quality and capabilities of this "utility" model match those of the professional version that Vega's better known for, and though the company markets it for saws that don't get "extremely heavy use," it's absolutely rugged enough for the exacting home woodworker. Hands down, the best feature about this first-class fence is the micro adjustment. We've all done it: tap, tap, tap on the fence, hoping for just the breadth of a hair's change in position. Enjoy that? We don't either. But this Vega has a threaded rod and thumb nut that moves the fence thousandths of an inch in either direction. A full rotation of the nut carries the fence 1/16th of an inch, and the cam locks the position securely. Another feature we love is the fence bar itself: It's high, wide and has a channel along its length, perfect for substantial sliding jigs, like, say, a miter spline jig. And while the finish on some of the other parts isn't as refined as it could be, the fence bar is sweet. It's made of aircraft quality aluminum alloy extrusions, lightweight for easy handling, but extremely rigid, and we like the way the black anodized finish cuts down on friction. The fence rides beautifully on the rails, and we found lockdown to be rock-solid. Installation wasn't nearly as complicated as we had anticipated, and it probably won't take you more than 30 minutes even if you happen to have one of the saws that requires drilling a couple of holes. But if you've got a Delta Unisaw or contractor model, a Powermatic 66 or a 10-inch Craftsman, for example, you'll be ready to roll without the extra drilling. You could spend a whole lot more money than this on an after-market fence, but the results you'll get from this Vega will rival any big-ticket fence's performance, and you'll depend on it for the ultimate accuracy and reliability. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste Amazon.com Product Review: REVIEW: List Price: $322.80 Our Special Price: $299.99 You Save: $22.81 ( 7%) Prices subject to change.

The unit installed quickly on my 70s vintage Craftsman 10" saw and like others have mentioned I had to drill two holes for the back rails. The one surprise I got was that the finger saver that is shown in all the pictures is not included and must be ordered as an option. The fence slides smoothly and locks securely in place. The micro adjustment is a nice feature and comes in ... Read More Rating: - It's about time! I have been looking for a good quality, accurate, reasonably priced tablesaw fence for a long, long time. There have always been good quality fences on the market but none were very affordable. This fence is everything that was advertised. I installed it on my 10" Craftsman saw in about an hour. I'm sure it can be done quicker but I used a micrometer to adjust the setup. You might as well do it right the first time. This fence is solid and surprisingly easy to adjust the setup for extremely accurate ... Read More Rating: - Terrific upgrade I bought this for my old Grizzly saw. The holes lined up perfectly, I only had to buy a couple of longer bolts. This is very secure, and very solid. I couldn't be happier. Rating: - Vega Rip fence I have been using this fence now for over a month and I must say that this is one of the best tools in my shop! I opened the box and 1 hour later I was ripping wood. The set up was sooo easy and really no instructions were needed. The micro adjustment is very accurate and the quality of the whole fence is very good. I put this on an old Craftsman saw replacing the awful stock fence that I had been struggling with for years and this just improved my woodworking tremendously. I didn't have to drill a ... Read More Rating: - Great Product, but.... Solid, easy to install (even with having to install one hole in the back bar), no complaints in the quality. It can be installed intinuatively which is good because the instructions are sketchey. But if you have even moderate mechanical skills and some basic tools, it's a snap to install and true. I have only the complaint that I saw in other reviews before I bought it. The 26 does not support side wings for your table. Besides being short, a concious choice in my case, the front bar is offset away from the ... Read More
