Great fence 
2008-09-12
This same fence came standard on my 21" 3 HP Jet bandsaw. I've had it for over a year now and it has worked well for me. Granted, I don't use my band saw a lot and I never had a fence on my 14" bandsaw , so I've nothing to compare it to except the Beismeyer on my table saw. It' not as hefty as that, but is sturdy and accurate and for that price I think a good buy.
Great fence for the price!

I installed this fence on my RIDGID 14" bandsaw. It went on with no problems although I too had to drill a hole in the bottom of the fence about an inch back from the factory hole which mounts the rear rail slider. Not a big deal, it is designed for a Jet after all, which apparently has a slightly longer table than the RIDGID.
After putting it all together, I had it all squared up in a matter of a few minutes. The adjustments are pretty basic, mostly just tilting the rails a bit until the fence is square with the table, then adjusting it square with the miter gauge slots.
For the money, it seems you can't go wrong with this fence!

Jet Bandsaw Fence JRF-14R 2008-05-31
I just (May 2008) installed the fence on my Jet 14" bandsaw, and thought I would add a review to those already here.
Despite a couple of minor things, the assembly of the fence to the bandsaw was quite straightforward. The minor issues were:
1) The telephone number (253-351-6000)on the front of the manual didn't work for me, and it was not an 800 number. After going to WMH's website, the Tech Support number is 800-274-6846.
2) The manual says "...using two M5x20 hex screws, 2 1/4" lock washers and 2 1/4" lock washers..." It doesn't tell you where the lock washers go in relationship to the parts. A call to Tech Support cleared up that the lock washers go just under the head of the screws. Perhaps I should have known that, but I didn't.
3) The holes drilled and tapped into the Guide Rail were a bit burred and I had a little difficulty getting two of the screws started.
4) Adjusting the height above the fence at the rear is a function of where you set the sliding pad with the hex nut you put on. Took me a couple of minutes to figure that out, but it worked well.
I notice there is no adjustment to allow for blade drift as I have seen on some fences. The fence lock seems a bit stiff, but I assume it will loosen up with use.
The fence itself is lighter than I expected it to be. The finish on the rails is excellent. The dial pointer is too high from the measuring rule, introducing far too much parallax in the readings.
Was it worth the price? Sure. Could Jet make a few changes and make it better? In my opinion, yes.
Even fits the older models 2007-04-27
I recently purchased this item and installed it on my 95' model Jet saw
and it fit just fine. No mods necessary. Nice piece of hardware.

I bought this fence thinking it would fit my 14" Jet band saw, since the description said it would fit most. Unfortunately, when I started to install I quickly found out that it would not. My band saw, as I found out later, is a bit too old (around 8-10 years)for this fence. There is was no guidance available to make it fit my table either. Basically the engineers at Jet said it was incompatible. It would have been nice to know that before I made the purchase.
Piece of Junk -- get the Rockler table and fence system 2006-10-19
I have a Ridgid 14" bandsaw, and while putting this fence on the saw was no big deal (went on pretty easily, altho I did have to shim out the rails), the clamping pad on the fence itself fell off after just a few weeks.
I'm talking about the little piece of plastic that was POORLY glued on the clamp of the fence itself. It fell off repeatedly, even after I glued it back on repeatedly with Gorilla Glue, hot glue, epoxy, Superglue, you name it, I tried it.
I finally gave up and got the Rockler bandsaw table and fence combo. Now I have a much bigger table and a fence that locks down securely in a T track with no wobble, not to mention a circle cutting guide and a resaw fence.
Don't waste your money, go straight for the Rockler table and fence system.
Works great! 2006-06-10
Like Hangtree, I have a rigid bandsaw and couldn't find a fence anywhere. This fence fits with only one modification. The rigid table is about one inch too narrow. I drilled one hole on the fence itself, now it fits great. The resaw guide is a bit too far back as well, but I don't do much resaw anyways. This fence is very sturdy and will make rigid and jet saw owners real happy.
JET JRF-14 708718 Rip Fence 2002-12-15
Bought a Ridgid 14" band saw but Ridgid quit selling the rip fence for it. Tried a Craftsman, but found it to wobbly on the backside. Went for this Jet model and the rails fit right into my predrilled table holes. Had to drill a hole about 1.5" back from the end on the underside of the fence to fit my table and lock more securily. Had it installed in about 20 minutes and it locks down tight with no play. Also comes with a resaw block.
