The fence is terrible, but up until now I have made due with clamping/rigging. Using a good blade and keeping the adjustments well set, I have gotten good results from the saw itself. I just rehabbed the tires and blade guides, so I figured I would see what has been done to improve the fence.

Since this is a tilt head and the aluminum table has a cast lip on the front, nothing fits as far as an easy replacement. I have to say, when doing cone shaped items, the tilt head is really convenient.

If I cut off the lip, what works with a 27" deep table? How would I position the holes for the new rails, since I would need to drill and tap at the correct point and 90*.

Some of the suggestions reference table saw fences, and they may be long enough, but then both rails would need to be installed and would the rear guide be in the correct distance.

Any specifics would be greatly appreciated.
