This is a great idea.

As a bonus I felt educated rather than talked down to. I find other presenters of a similar age tend to talk down to the audience rather than educate them. It was nice change!

I love that fence! Great idea.

This is an excellent idea even in 2024. Definitely going to make this jig.

I just spent a bunch of time getting depressed about how much a "decent" band saw fence was going to cost me - a lot more than I paid for my three-wheeler!
Then I found your video, and I'm going to replace the entire bed and relocate the mitre guide and put a fence on it, and attach a clamp to it. Brilliant. Cheap. Double plus good! Thank you so much.

It must be odd to get comments years after posting videos, but I just ran into this video and it solved such a huge problem for me that I felt the need to post.  I have a 10" Rikon benchtop band saw and the fence was crap.  After this video and a little problem solving, I made this jig and now the accuracy of my cuts are ridiculous. Thanks again, Tom for making my little saw perform like a big boy saw. Happy Holidays.

Just made this for my bandsaw, I have one word, “Tremendous” my cuts are so much more accurate, so simple, thank you so much.

Almost 8 years after the video was made ... I love that fence set up and the fact you have the ability to slide your fence so smoothly and accurately is quite impressive.

Tom Casper,
Thank you for this simple clear explanation. I like your straightforward style of presentation and have learned numerous useful things from your videos. This heartfelt compliment comes from a guy who has been working with wood for over fifty years.

Best Wishes!

Just bought a bandsaw and been looking for fence ideas - this one is absolutely brilliant !! Will make one for mine. Thanks.

It is mindblowing how simple this solution is.

You have answered a question about a bandsaw fence that I have wondered about for months. Thanks so much for sharing, ain't youtube an awesome invention?

Very grateful for sharing your wisdom.

You explain things really well, thank you!

This video is fantastic!!  And it is 100% relevant now, 13 years after it was made - remarkable!   Thank you for such a clear, and very, very educational video that is also interesting and intrigues me to think of other uses for this discovery!!

That is what I am looking for. Really appreciate your presenting this idea.

Finally, a bandsaw fence that I like!!!   I will be making one of these very soon!  I have also used my bandsaw to cut slot bottoms like this, it is actually pretty efficient, because you can do it all with one setup.  Thanks for the great video!!

A great idea that makes perfect fine cuts.

Excellent teaching, long enough and short enough, detailed yet simple, oh The Lord helps teachers be good

So simple,so brilliant,fantastic, congratulations

Very slick idea. I will definitely be making a fence like this for my bandsaw, and I even have a spare miter gauge already. Thanks for sharing the idea

I saw that coat rack in the mag. It was nice to see you giving a more detailed explanation of the bandsaw setup!
