Wasted $220 on a cheap table saw fence kit that never stayed square
Bought one of those aftermarket fence kits off Amazon for my old contractor saw. Figured how bad could it be. Took me 6 months of fighting with it, measuring every cut twice, shimming the fence with tape. Finally borrowed my buddy's SawStop one afternoon and made 10 perfect rip cuts in a row. Threw the cheap kit in the trash that night. Has anyone else learned this lesson the expensive way?

Took me 6 months of fighting with it" - man, that hit close to home. My buddy Dave did the exact same thing with a cheap fence kit he found online, spent a whole year convincing himself it was fine until one of his cabinets came out crooked and he just smashed the thing with a hammer in his driveway lol. He finally just saved up for the Vega like that other comment said and now he won't shut up about how easy everything is.
