The fence is a Vega, it works quite well. I purchased it just before I decided to make woodworking a primary hobby, but no regrets, it is right on. I have the Wixey digital readout as well. At this point, it is working perfectly. The Biesemeyer would have cost as much as the saw did, and since I was just thinking about making it a hobby, after DIYing for 40 years, I decided to keep the cost down.
Re Woodsmith…....
Just got a copy in Maui, two days ago, although I haven't read it through yet. I have a couple of other copies, haven't decided to subscribe yet, I'll read through this last copy and give it a sharp look. Thanks for the heads up. Shopnotes is another I am looking at close. I get a couple subscriptions already….......but, there is never enough.
I worked a couple of years in Middlesboro, Kentucky in the mid '70s. Then moved to Fairbanks in '75, then to Anchorage in '84.
In the woodworking realm I'm am kinda casual at this point, partly because I am still working. Everything I do is in slow motiion, because I am still working, but have the energy of an oldtimer. Looked at your profile earlier, nice projects. Usually when someone unknown comments on my posts I go back to their profile….....you have already figured that out. Noted you are new here. Bet you will enjoy it. It is my favorite place on the web, my home. Very nice people, and there is something for everybody, and everyone seems to find their own circle of friends.
Thanks for dropping by. Keep in touch.
