Axminster Workshop Small Rip Fence Upgrade

AMINSTER WORKSHOP SMALL RIP FENCE GOOD QUALITY fits my Record 250 bandsaw.

Works well and aids accurate cutting. Bit pricey but worth it if you want greater accuracy.

I was struggling with the rip guide supplied with my SwitZer bandsaw .. impossible to tighten, I always had to use clamps and never got on with it. This replacement is exactly as described. Solid, accurate and simple to fit .. drilled one 6mm hole and all my problems were solved. As other reviews say, it's surprisingly stable considering there is only one locking point.

I was a bit worried that this rip fence would not fit my Record Power RPBS8 bandsaw before purchase as my table is cast aluminium and hollow underneath. I glued some small pieces of wood in the hollow sections and drilled fixing holes through the top of the table and wood to fit the guide rail. The fence is now fitted and works a treat, I am so glad I purchased the Axminster small fence upgrade, it is a great addition to my bandsaw, works really well, a good price, and arrived next day. YES, I highly recommend this bandsaw fence to anyone who needs to upgrade theirs.

Product and instructions did not tally. Contacted Axminster customer services but they have not responded. I've got it working.

Not bad for the price.

Bought this together with Axminster aw1400b band saw. Fitting it required drilling four 9mm holes, for which I used the Axminster fence as a template. It's easy to take on and off (I have not experienced the problem reported by one customer here). My only criticism is that there is a metal wedge that has to go in the right place but doesn't stay there, you have to remember to swing it round before fitting the fence. That only takes a second and I guess I will get used to it.

The up grade was very easy to fit and lovely to work with. Well worth the money.
