Retro-fit was a breeze
Purchased Delta BC30 30-Inch Commercial Biesemeyer Table Saw Fence

Had a Older Delta contractor saw, Model 34-444 which had a Original Fence which was good for general work but not consistant in making Square or true cuts. I needed a fence that would allow both of these.

I received the product in 5(Std Shipping) days and well it was installed in about 30 minutes. Took more time to make the NEW 36" table extension.

First cuts after Fence aligned and Trued up to the blade were Perfect.

Very happy with the Fence and ease of installation..

The only fence to buy
I had another well respected brand fence sitting in the box waiting until I had a workshop large enough to accommodate the longer than stock rails. When I took it out to install it on the saw, a 1940's Delta Unisaw, I just couldn't having previously used the Biesemeyer in a friends shop. So, I went and ordered the Biesemeyer. The installation was much simpler that the other fence. It did take a little tweaking to align the fence, table and blade, not too bad though. However, now every cut is perfect just by using ruler on the guide. I even tested it 2", 12", 24" from the blade....perfect every time. Plus the Biesemeyer is built like a tank and the quality of everything is first rate.

great item. must have for any cabinet makers saw.
great product. got it much cheaper from somehwere else. for some reason amazon stocks the bc50 which has at least a third more steel in it for something like $200 less. (edit I just looked again and amazon now has it for a more reasonable and competitive price).

This fence attached to my saw flawlessly (I have delta unisaw), and i was ready to go in no time. Nicer than the fence that is on our powermatic model 66 (better finish and fit all around). the powermatic has some newfangled plastic on the sides which is buckled and bowed where the bolts attach (same on every saw I have seen with it). that makes it hard to get accurate cuts. the plywood sided pieces on the delta BC30 are the next best thing to a nice piece of 1/2" aluminum.

Unhappy
I found that this rip fence did not fit my table saw. I called Biesemeyer company and they told me that I would need to buy another $50 part and customize it. They did not sell a kit that would work for my table saw. Cutting into 3/16 steel isn't something that is easy for me to do.

Because of these problems I returned this product to Amazon. After filling out the return information on the web, Amazon stated that they would pay for return shipping. It was expensive. Harry Pierce

Excellant product
The fence was quick and easy to install using the clear and effective instructions. Threaded holes in the the guide tube for mounting it on the front rail were accurately aligned with the holes in the rail but needed cleaning out with a tap, but that took only a few minutes. It's easy to use and precise.
