How good is the rip fence? Does it stay straight when moving and locking? Does it lock tight and not move?

I used it to re-saw a piece of Spanish cedar at almost 3" and it worked fine. The blade is narrow and this is a small saw so stability is not great. You are going to get ripples but overall with a little sanding it was ok.

It's a cheap saw. It does fine for what it cost, but don't expect a high quality professional grade unit. The fence is ok, but not precision.

I haven't had any issues with it locking, only with the cold weather it moves really slow when opening and closing.

The legs deploy pretty quickly and lock on a rotation but agreed that they are a little slower than the latches. Only thing is the compact fold is way better than their latches. Worth the trade off. I have the 62" latched one and it's twice the size of this one.

Ours isn't tight by any means: it shifts several millimeters. But the construction keeps the slip pretty well in check, and I don't remember having any problems with it in use.

The fence may be slightly skewed when you move it. However, you align the fence and bit using a straight edge. So, even if the fence isn't "square" relative to the table, it is "square" relative to itself and the bit. This would mean that you still cut on a straight line.

no rip fence. its pretty light duty actually, barely enough horse to cut anything, wont have enough power to do any good rip cut above 2".

I have a small shop, 14' x 16', with a 5' double door. Everything is on wheels so I just move my saw to where I need it. With outfeed rollers I have ripped 8' material. A little tight, but I get the job done. I would not give up my Incra fence. It is one of the best investments I have made in my shop. I know I can go back later and set it for the same size cut and it will be the same.

Yes it is very tight and it suppose to be that way. Don't worry you won't break the net. Works great one done right.

This gun is one of the best rated on the market. Fencing no problem. Just adjust your pressure for what you are doing

It's probably the most solid lock out there, along with the compression lock, AXIS-lock, and lock-back... or a good titanium framelock (there's a good variety out there). The spring pressure is constant and stiff, and I'd wager my life on this lock. It won't fail. As far as accidentally releasing the lock in the middle of hard use, I've been trying to figure out what you'd have to be doing for that to happen... I think this design is the one least likely to be tripped by accident. It's easier to inadvertently trip an axis or compression lock than this one, and those two are very well designed.

Mine won't secure against the wall but the gate is pretty heavy that it doesn't move easily or fall over when pulled on.All corners latch secure and unlatch easily

I have this on a 5.56 and its great. This is a very solid piece and does stay put. But i still use locktite on anything not intended to be removable. I have used the on lights and lasers. I have no problem recommending this. Hope this helps.

The fence can slide by unscrewing it. Made of MDF so could make your own if needed.

Never had a problem with it. Got mine Jan 2015 so not sure how old the reviews were. They now ship with the 1/4-turn locks, and the fence is pretty solid.

The lock should in time loose up a little but the lock is supposed to be tough. The entire purpose of this knife is the tough lock and so it doesn't give out easy n break. Sounds fine to me, mines the same way n I'm happy with mine and I'm a knive enthusiast. My opinion knife works the way it should

Do you have a high gate or fence in your yard? If so, then yes it will stay in place. We ordered 2 palettes and they seemed to have stayed in place rain or wind . Your trampoline flew across? That's crazy! Well at least this is rubber, even if it flew across but it shouldn't . I feel like when it's clumped together in one place, nothing will fly away in the wind

It stays very taut. My 250 lb husband gets in and out with no pain. It is also a quite wide pole, so it doesn't cut into your skin.
