Bummed out.... [Posted on 2006-11-10]
I bought this fence thinking it would fit my 14" Jet band saw, since the description said it would fit most. Unfortunately, when I started to install I quickly found out that it would not. My band saw, as I found out later, is a bit too old (around 8-10 years)for this fence. There is was no guidance available to make it fit my table either. Basically the engineers at Jet said it was incompatible. It would have been nice to know that before I made the purchase.

Band Saw Rip Fence Works Great [Posted on 2007-03-16]
I purchased this fence system & love it. It installed very easily in about 30 minutes. I took care to get it leveled up well & to have the fence sit about 1/64" above the saw table so it doesn't chatter when I move it. This fence is vey much like my table saw Biesmeyer fence, just smaller. Much better than the melamine covered particle board table & fence system I had purchased.

Even fits the older models [Posted on 2007-04-27]
I recently purchased this item and installed it on my 95' model Jet saw
and it fit just fine. No mods necessary. Nice piece of hardware.

Jet Bandsaw Fence JRF-14R [Posted on 2008-05-31]
I just (May 2008) installed the fence on my Jet 14" bandsaw, and thought I would add a review to those already here.

Despite a couple of minor things, the assembly of the fence to the bandsaw was quite straightforward. The minor issues were:

1) The telephone number (253-351-6000)on the front of the manual didn't work for me, and it was not an 800 number. After going to WMH's website, the Tech Support number is 800-274-6846.

2) The manual says "...using two M5x20 hex screws, 2 1/4" lock washers and 2 1/4" lock washers..." It doesn't tell you where the lock washers go in relationship to the parts. A call to Tech Support cleared up that the lock washers go just under the head of the screws. Perhaps I should have known that, but I didn't.

3) The holes drilled and tapped into the Guide Rail were a bit burred and I had a little difficulty getting two of the screws started.

4) Adjusting the height above the fence at the rear is a function of where you set the sliding pad with the hex nut you put on. Took me a couple of minutes to figure that out, but it worked well.

I notice there is no adjustment to allow for blade drift as I have seen on some fences. The fence lock seems a bit stiff, but I assume it will loosen up with use.

The fence itself is lighter than I expected it to be. The finish on the rails is excellent. The dial pointer is too high from the measuring rule, introducing far too much parallax in the readings.

Was it worth the price? Sure. Could Jet make a few changes and make it better? In my opinion, yes.
