Jet Pro Table Saw Rip Fence Issues

There should be an adjustment for how tight or loose the fence remains against the front rail when it’s not clamped. There’s a fine line between having slop and having it hard to move.

I suspect that some of what you describe is the nature of the front lock t-square style fences, though technique and proper adjustment can help. I’ve been using that style of fence for so long I don’t give it thought anymore…a little coordination between bumping and locking it in place works wonders.

CL it for someone who has consumed the jet kool-aid and get almost anything else. even a ridgid 4512 would be a step up. heck, if it’s only a couple of months old, doesn’t it have a 5 year guaranty? call the selling dealer or jet and have them worry about it.
