Vega U26 Table Saw Fence System: 36-Inch Fence Bar, 26-Inch to Right

Amazon.com Product Review

An after-market fence is a fantastic way to ratchet up the performance of a basic table saw, turning it into a precision tool. And this Vega system is easy to install and a pleasure to use, with a very agreeable price for passionate woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers. The quality and capabilities of this “utility” model match those of the professional version that Vega’s better known for, and though the company markets it for saws that don’t get “extremely heavy use,” it’s absolutely rugged enough for the exacting home woodworker. Hands down, the best feature about this first-class fence is the micro adjustment. We’ve all done it: tap, tap, tap on the fence, hoping for just the breadth of a hair’s change in position. Enjoy that? We don’t either. But this Vega has a threaded rod and thumb nut that moves the fence thousandths of an inch in either direction. A full rotation of the nut carries the fence 1/16th of an inch, and the cam locks th (more…)

Freud JS102 6.5 amp Plate Joiner with Tilting Fence

Amazon.com Review

Freud’s biscuit joiner is a solid tool that costs remarkably less than its competitors’ models. The all-metal construction of this compact joiner gives it a high-quality, very balanced feel. The carbide-tipped blade cuts the three standard 0, 10, and 20 biscuit sizes–plus A, B, and max. You can switch easily between the six settings with a convenient thumb wheel. The joiner also gives you the choice of using a dust bag or hooking it up to a vacuum for even simpler cleanup. The joiner features a new variable-angle fence system for adjustments from 0 to 90 degrees. Making fence adjustments, admittedly, isn’t as easy as it is on DeWalt’s or Porter-Cable’s more expensive models–but this was the only notable difference we could find with Freud’s joiner. (It’s also not much of a concern for the casual woodworker or for anyone who uses a biscuit cutter primarily to make repetitive cuts.) All in all, this is a quality tool at a really attractive price. –Jon (more…)
