Aftermarket Bandsaw Fences Buyers Guide
Without clear guidelines, even the most thorough aftermarket bandsaw fence reviews won’t help you choose the right model. Your choice is not limited to the size of the saw table. It also depends on the type of cuts that you make, the length of the fence, and the rear glide rail.
Design And Size
Experts say that the most important factors are the design and the size of the bandsaw fencing. Incompatible dimensions can make even the most versatile fence useless.
Your table must be measured for the bandsaw fence. While the most popular size for bandsaws is 36 cm, there are other sizes available. The Shop Fox D3575 is also recommended. It is easier to select the right fence once you have the dimensions of your bandsaw.
You can also cut the material according to the dimensions of your bandsaw fence. This is quite intuitive: the longer the material, you can cut the fence.
Material
Our team emphasized the next important aspect: the material of the bandsaw fence. There are three main options: aluminum, steel and plastic. Because plastic is less durable, metal and aluminum will make the best bandsaw fences.
While steel is stronger than aluminum, you’ll notice that these models are often quite heavy. The aluminum alloy band saw fences, resaw guides and resaw guide are lighter.
Our team recommends steel to ensure durability and aluminum for ease. Plastic blade guides can be used as temporary stand-ins or options.
Compatibility
Compatibility is a major problem when buying fences for bandsaws. Woodworkers often hesitate to purchase a fence for bandsaws because they don’t know if it will work together until they assemble it.
Our experts recommend that you look beyond the dimensions to determine the brand and type of saw it is compatible with. Some bandsaw fences only work with specific brands or measurements. There are also other fences that work better with ferrous metal tables.
Some saw models may not fit the universal ones, so don’t be surprised if you have to jimmy it. There are also options that don’t come with universal options, but can be modified to fit your bandsaws.
Our team recommends that you purchase universal bandsaws or ones that can be used with all brands if you’re not a skilled professional.
Lock System
To ensure straight, precise cuts every time, the lock system is essential. Fences can be different in design, and the lock system is no exception. Most common are the cam lock and magnetic lock.
Experts recommend the magnetic lock as it is the most convenient and easy to assemble and remove the fence. The cam lock lever can be more secure than a magnetic attachment but is more complex.
Benefits Of Using A Bandsaw Fence

It is difficult enough to draw straight lines. Can you imagine if the fence of the best bandsaw could not be used consistently? This accessory will make your cut much easier.
Our team believes that a bandsaw fence can also be used for resawing. Ressawing is the act of cutting wood into smaller pieces. Without a fence to guide your blade, this action can be dangerous and almost impossible to perform. With the correct features in a guide for bandsaws, you can perform rip cuts along grain.
