I have what I believe is the original fence. My fence had a lot of play in it at the end opposite of the lock with the aluminum outer part having a gap around the steel inner part, but I was able to tighten it up so it works okay now and stays parallel to the miter slot and blade.

Now that I got it all set up, it works well, but it’s still the loudest saw I’ve ever used. Is yours really loud too?
