BOW Products 46” XT XTENDER Fence - T-Track Table Saw Fence System with Multiple T-Slots for Woodworking Accessories - Fits Portable, Cabinet, and Bandsaws - XT546 (Fence Only)

I have nothing but applause for this fence. My table saw is safer and performs like a larger model. This fence combined with featherboards, roller guides, and or anti kickback accessories instills greater confidence. It is very well made (heavier than expected), with a great dark gray finish and everything attaches easily and moves smoothly. I considered making my own but when calculating the cost of quality materials and time to fabricate, I quickly realized the bow fence was a wiser option for accuracy and compatibility with other tools.

I put one of these along with the fence clamps, feed supports, and feather boards on my DeWalt contractor saw. From the first cut, the benefits were clear in terms of safety and ease of use. Feeding larger work pieces into the saw became simple and safe from the start. All the standard cautions about table saws apply but you know that already. The components are very sturdy and well-made. The instructions are clear and installation is fast and very easy. I can move mine from saw to saw with very little effort. It also works on my band saw which is a huge plus. Fully equipped the Bow fence is about $300 which for me was well worth the cost.

Solid and super sturdy fence. Added to my Dewalt 7491 saw and it’s great. Easy to install and perfectly square. Big improvement over the factory fence.

I used to have a table saw, but when I downsized, I went with a Bosch contractor saw. I bought the whole fence system. The fence is rock solid and very high quality. It attached effortlessly to my existing fence, and having used other table saws, it should be a great accessory of just about any table saw. For some reason, Amazon divided my purchase into one review for the fence, and one review for the accessories that make it work. I will leave a separate review for the accessories.

I wanted to review the fence of Bow Products.I just bought the fence and 2 clamps.Fast Shipping, I supposed to get it on Saturday, I got it a day earlier, on Friday.The cardboard is super heavy and stiff. From the moment you take it into your hands, you see that the Bow Products Company did not cut any corners. Looks like they want to make sure that there is absolutely zero chance for any damage or bend of the fence in the shipping. Just the packaging itself is probably worth $10.The fence is heavy and solid 1 inch thick aluminum.Quality! You are going to see it right away.I have the 10 inch metabo hpt jobsite saw ($450). The saw is stationed in the basement of my house, I have all the space I need. I am using 8 foot long outfeed table and I am currently building 4 foot infeed table.Wait! You do need to buy this fence - you have the support tables. Wrong!I also have 12 inch single bevel meter saw and circular saw with the aluminum guide for longer cuts. I am not planning to spend hundreds of dollars for the track saw - I like using my table saw. I want to be able to cut entire sheet of plywood by myself on the table saw.Installation took 5 min. Position the fence accordingly and use the clamps.I did have a little problem with my original fence. The "low fence" or "flip support" part of my original fence for wider pieces (mostly plywood) was getting in the way of the clamps and if I wanted to cut something wide, I would have to take the Bow Fence off , flip the support, reattach Bow fence - too much hassle. I am lazy, I do not want to disconnect and then connect - the Bow Fence will stay in place on my saw! I permanently disconnected flip support and I cut wide piece of 3/4 plywood, which I can slide underneath from either side of the fence for support for wider pieces.The original fence is 23 inches long. The Bow Fence is 46, so I am doubling the "travel time" of the workpiece against the fence. I am using it mostly for infeed. (21 inches on the infeed and 2 on the outfeed).In the future, I might get some upgrades for my table saw like zero clearance insert, feather boards, etc. My argument is this: "This fence should be Number 1 upgrade for any small/compact/contractor/jobsite table saw". This upgrade should be done before any other upgrades are even considered.The way that I am using table saw is probably completely different that an average person.Because I am absolutely terrified of it, I like to stand far away from the saw. I use two long push sticks (each one is about 42 inches long), plus I stand at 6'1'', so I have a little longer reach. This fence fits the bill perfectly for "far away" and accurate work.This is one of those GENIUS ideas ("FENCE IN YOUR FACE") that ALMOST no one thought about it. Get it, you will absolutely love it!

Not a lot of reviews on this yet and it seemed a bit pricy, but I took a chance anyway on the whole package with the infeed supports and feathers. No regrets - not one. This thing is awesome. I'll let the before/after photos speak for themselves, but this thing is truly a game changer in my little basement shop and far superior than any little hacks I had been trying to do to keep pieces secure through rips while keeping my fingers far away from that spinning blade.I can also tell you, this thing is solid - rock solid and durable - even the plastic pieces, and it's well designed. You can just secure it to your current fence that you already have trued up (most fences I'd guess anyway) literally in a few seconds with the clamps included (if you get the package deal). For me, this was WELL worth the investment. And admittedly, I think it just looks cool too! Cool enough that someone might mistake me for someone who actually knows what they're doing???The only slightly negative thing I could possibly offer is that the infeed supports took a little nudging to get into place - but once i figured that out all good.

I own a DeWalt contractor saw. I'd upgrade but simply don't have the room in my small downstairs show. I was pleased to come across this product. After about a week of work, I began wishing I'd had this from the beginning. One of the big drawbacks of mobile contractor saws is the limited in-feed and out-feed tables. This limitation is not only inconvenient but makes it more difficult to manage the safety issues around using a smaller saw. This, at least for me, greatly reduces those issues. Which brings me back to, "I wish I'd had this from the beginning." This product, when combined with the "BOW Products XT1 Feed Supports", has been super helpful to me in my small shop.

I love this Bow fence. I have a Jobsite SawStop table saw. I’ve had it for about 5 years. It has a short in feed and out feed table top. I’ve struggled with this for years. This Bow fence plus infeed and outfeed supports is a game changer. Much more accurate and safe. Very well constructed. Heavy. Highly recommend!
