The key to good rip cuts is a good rip fence.
The Biesemeyer table saw fence is so much a part of the modern shop that the name is almost an adjective: Even if your saw’s fence is designed by the maker of your saw, it’s probably a “Biesemeyer-style” fence. It’s a fantastic, trustworthy fence, and part of the reason is that it’s so basic.
On the other hand, sometimes you need more than basic. If you’re like me, I’m sure you’ve attached featherboards, jigs, spacers and more to yours. I even use mine for my router-table extension with a clamped-on sub-fence. Most things like these have been shop-made, but third-party suppliers are responding to the need. Two in particular have caught my eye.
