Jet Bandsaw Rip Fence HELP!!!!!!! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Cutting Cathy · 10-25-2009, 08:29 PM

Well I finally figured it was time to learn how to resaw and wouldn't you know it I cannot find any of the paperwork for my rip fence!! I have the Jet 14 inch band saw and the Jet band saw rip fence. Unfortunately I can't find the papers and/or manual that came with the fence, nor can I find anything online about it!! Can anyone help guide me through this?? I have found a picture on the Amazon site, but I just don't know what I'm doing or how to attach it and use it on the band saw. If anyone knows a website or a place where I can purchase a guide I would really appreciate it!! Thanks so much...... again!!

WD, I think we might have gotten the wrong fence!! I'll post pictures in a minute.

We started to assemble the rip fence and after looking at WD's pictures I think we got the wrong one!!

The rear hook obviously does not sit in the rear rail!!! It is too long:

Another view of it:

The fence assembly measures about 19 5/8 inches.

We bought this about 2 years ago and the place we got it is out of business. Kent said he could have it cut down. Can you tell me what your fence measures?? What a drag!! I must have hope though!!!

Cathy my fence is also 19 5/8, do we have the same model saw?
I think if your table is shorter then all you have to do is put some spacers between the table and back angle iron (rear rail ) to make the fence reach. Good luck

Wood Dog · 10-26-2009, 05:06 AM

Cathy do you have the teflon spacer under the front black part?
