A rip fence is an essential component of a table saw that plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and precise cuts. It is a guide that runs parallel to the saw blade, allowing users to make straight cuts with ease. The rip fence serves as a barrier that keeps the workpiece in position while it is being cut, preventing any unnecessary movement that could result in an uneven or inaccurate cut. Fence has no markings. Table saws were Craftsman. Fence should be also, but no markings to confirm. Well loved and used. Looking for a new home.
