Probably my lack of experience and/or intellectual acuity but, I find that different blades of the same size and tooth configuration have different fence setting requirements. For that reason, a fence that locks to the table is not optimal for me.  Shopsmith must've recognized that, at least with their bandsaw, or they would offer such a fence. Mine's the old iron table. Maybe they do offer one for the newer aluminum table. Dunno.

Yes, Gene, they do.  They had a sale recently, but I don't think it will work on our old iron table.  https://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/catalog/bandsawfence.htm

Hey @Artie, do you have that fence on your bandsaw table? If so, how does it work for resawing? 

Bought one, haven’t set it up yet. I think Doug Reid has a video on YouTube showing how to set it up.

 

This is one.

 

 

That's how I do it. But, I use a wood fence screwed to the miter gauge. Redneck engineering, but it works.

Gene, this country has developed so many improvisations that is how we got ahead.  So, you are a true red blooded American.  I never could get one to work, so I simply make a mark with a Sharpie, then put down a piece of masking tape and try to follow it.  After that, I true it with the table saw.  Then I sand down with sanding disk.
