This fence is of a stronger variety than the factory models found on the Craftsman 315 or Ridgid saws. It has the micro adjust knob that moves the fence on gears. It’s designed for cabinet shop work and has a LONG rail for your plus sized extensions. I really appreciate how these fences work with the router wings and accessory sets. If my shop was larger I would definitely be using this fence system. Unfortunately for me this is designed for large work pieces like cabinetry.
