Biesemeyer Fence - Unisaw Reinvented Part 2

Hey Everyone

Continuing on with our trip through the plant, my favorite part was seeing how they build the Biesemeyer Fence (remember these are handmade in Jackson, TN). The Biesemeyer T-Square saw fence system comes with every Unisaw. The fence has a three point locking system that ensures the fence is precisely parallel to the blade and provides a clean cut accurate to 1/64" of an inch.


The 9-ply fence faces are manufactured to unmatched tolerances. They take additional steps in milling the wood faces to be parallel to the tubing. A durable layer of heavy-duty laminate is added to reduce friction, the improvements are also include a cam front lock lever withcurved edge so the snap of the positive lock can be felt. There is a strong magnet in the cam that keeps the handle in an upright position when the fence is not in use. Cradles located on the table board legs store the fence in a convenient location for quick access. The table board is available in both 36" and 52".


All of the fences are handmade and tested before they leave the plant to ensure the accuracy for the perfect continuous cut.


The Biesemeyer Outfeed table is designed with a completely with 14-ga steel so the table stays truer longer. The legs are interconnected for added strength. There is also an additional 4' x 44" workspace for the shop.


There is also a new feature that many are not talking about - How about the new Premium Woodworking Blades...Delta is coming out with a new line of 10" Circular Saw Blades ~ These will be released after the Unisaw's are released. They are including a 10" 50T Wood Saw Blade with the purchase of the Saw.


The Unisaw with Biesemeyer Fence is Mapped (Manufactures Advertised Purchase Price) is $2995.00.


This saw is pretty impressing ~ keep a look out for more information.
