What is the Fence and Base (table) made out of on this saw? (steel, aluminum, cast Iron, stainless Steel?) Thanks

I believe it is cast aluminum that is then machined. It is heavy now, if it was steel or cast iron it would be way too heavy.

It appears to be cast iron, it might be aluminum. Whatever it is made of it is made of sturdy construction.

Can not say for sure. There's nothing steel about it do my guess would be aluminum. Check with a Colman rep would be my best advice. Good luck

The fact is the fence, (either 40"or 50") has to be attached to the table! Sears didn't make a table top out of granite that I'm aware of. Is it just your extensions that are granite? If you have a steel/cast table, the actual table with the miter guide cut parallel to the blade hole. You're probably ok! If you can bolt to that it should be sufficient to hold the fence> I would just replace the granite extensions with the ones suggested in the manual with the saw! Good luck! A picture of your saw would be helpful! Terry Thanks for the lesson Cheryl! Granite was used!

Good morning, Esther. The bench is mostly crafted of aluminum, with tubular steel accents. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Mine was wood. It is an amazing stick for the $. I've casted $700 fiberglass noodles that weren't as nice as this. I picked it up on a whim because it was so cheap. Best 3/4 wt I own and a 12" brookie feels like a monster on it. I use it with a rio 4 wt line and absolutely love it!

Friend, I am sorry but I don't know! (I believe they are steel). I can tell you this though, I have re-sawn 12" Oak through this saw and it doesn't even slow down! Without a doubt it is the best band saw for the money! I have been so happy with this machine!

I bought this a month or so ago. The only stamp on the blade is "China", and there was nothing on the package stating what it is. I'm going to make a guess and say either stainless or spring steel. It keeps an edge pretty good & feels nice in your hand.

It's been a while since I bought it. I returned it because it was junk. The base was a cast material- probably aluminum, but possibly steel.

I cannot say with certainty, however I will say the fence is very versatile and quite easy to modify which is what I did rather than modify my saw. I would suspect you could make it work for your needs. Sorry for the delayed response.

Everything but the handle (plastic) is metal. The slide bar is steel and the miter fence is cast aluminum. Very good quality.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

The auger housing, auger, cutting blade and plates are made of high quality stainless steel. The motor housing and the top tray are also made of stainless steel plate. It is a very heavy duty machine and weighs about 40 pounds. This is a very good machine and works great. It grinds very fast. Hope this helps.

I have no earthly idea. I have only needed to use it once and my rip fence and saw blade have been dead square ever since. Sorry :(

this fence should fit your saw. if it uses a 10" blade an the table is 27" deep. the rails are so heavy you need to build a side table of to the right side to help support the weight. you can buy a beisemeyer table or build one.

No. A miter attachment comes with it. I had to make my own rip fence. The table is cast aluminum. I also had to rework the arbor for the blade to eliminate the wobble in the blade. A sharp blade is important and don't rush it, then the motor won't get too hot.

It is wood on top of the metal. You will not be disappointed with this knife.

I mounted it on the older style Makita job site table saw. I'm not sure of the model number but the fence seemed like it had enough mounting hole configurations to fit nearly any saw. It is a very good investment for these types of saws. It is a huge improvement over the stock fence.
