Thanks. You’re right on the rails. It’s angle iron and 2x3 tubing. So not that big of a deal if I cut it. The old saw is a a 1950 model with a 1 hp bullet motor. I “restored” it a few years ago and it works well. I’ve got the old Jet Lock fence system on it currently. I’ve got two ‘80s vintage...

I’m moving ahead with the restoration of the Unisaws and the fence systems. I’ll have to decide which to keep for my little shop. I’ve stripped and repainted the Biesemeyer fence and will replace the faces as soon as the laminate arrives. Had to replace a couple of the UHMW slider strips. It’s...

No Unifence parts. Just the Biesemeyer and Paralok. And a couple of Jet Lock. I used to have a Unifence. Should’ve kept it.

Converted it back to a standard Biesemeyer Commercial. I’ll strip and repaint before I reface it.

Yeah, it’s an odd piece of kit. I could do a little cutting and welding on it to make it into a traditional fence. Or just chuck it and pickup a normal Biesemeyer. I’ll for sure install the Paralok on one of the saws. It’s an oddity but serviceable. I’ve still got the old Jet Lock system on my...

Thanks. I’m going to have to decide which of these three Unisaws and fence systems I keep. Three is just too many. I’m not sure that “offset” Biesemeyer is going to do me long term. We’ll see when I get them all back together. Thanks again.

Thanks. I was glad to find out what it was. As I restore the two saws I’ll put the Paralok on one and the oddball Biesemeyer on the other. It should work as well as any T square fence I suppose, it just looks a little odd. The Paralok is actually pretty cool.

That is it! So is it a Biesemeyer? That even looks like the same sacrificial piece on the fence. Mystery solved. I watched the video and the guy says it’s a Biesemeyer. Thanks!

There wasn’t a Unifence in the lot. I had one years ago and regret letting it get away from me.

i should have noticed sooner but the fence is 40” long. Maybe to work with a sliding table?

The adjustment bolts are Allen heads. Best I remember they are in the same location as a Bies.

Where it is welded they are very fine little tig welds.

Oddly enough the angled piece, or gusset, doesn’t appear to be welded to the main fence, but both pieces are welded to the angle iron slide. There are no visible fasteners holding it togethe. Cam lock is missino.

One guy said it may have been used with a slider? Wasn’t a slider in stuff I bought.

There was also a Paralok Fence system in the load of stuff. In really good condition and had the manuf info on it. You can find some information on them on the web. Nothing on this fence except a “Made in America” sticker. It is seriously heavy duty.
