There are some reviews that completely trash the fence, saying it is useless and has to be replaced with an aftermarket fence. What do you think?

The fence itself is solid, very useful. The jointer feature is great. The downside is that the fence has 2 pivot points which means you must take extra time squaring it up if you need a straight cut. Regardless I think it is a great product which has led to me buying many more kreg products.

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.

had mine for 4 years. Love it! not a bit of rust. Looks new. out in all Maryland weather without any attention. I bought the gate that matched and it has been a disaster. Rusted by the end of the first year. Not sure why the difference. But I cant recommend the fence panels enough.

I was unable to make ANY aftermarket TPMS sensors work with our Nissan Altima. After about $500 spent all replaced just to take it to the dealer and be told they won't set and they have to be bought at the dealer. I'm living with the light on and just checking the tires the old fashioned way.

I bought the wire but didn't connect it because we had to run it across the driveway and my husband had to move it when snow blowing. We purchased a pet safe correction collar for our golden and it works, in our opinion, better than the fence.

The fence is most likely shorted to ground somewhere. You will have to inspect the fence for the fault and simply repair it. It could be a bad insulator, or it could be as simple as a lot of tall grass and or weeds grounding the fence out over the entire span of wire. The bottom line is, the hot wire that passes through the insulators cannot touch anything but the fence charger and the insulators; if it touches so much as a wooden post it will likely short out and cause just the scenario you describe here. Good luck with it.

greg, i would be more concerned with if it cuts the grass well !! i got rid of mine by putting it on the street, the night before bulk pickup....i am sorry, but i thought it was garbage ! that is all i can say.

I don't know if really works. It depends on who you talk to. I have talked to rattlesnake experts that say there is no way it works and others that say it helps. I have tired it because I have a dog and am willing to try anything to keep the rattlesnakes in my area out of the yard. You can also do special fencing. Bottom line: I feel it's worth a try.

If you look at the comments from 2011 & 2012, you will see if there are problems with this product. On the other hand, if you look at the comments made in the past year or so, the product is perfect, suddenly. You have to wonder if these are true reviews or those manufactured by the manufacturer. Possibly, they changed the material of the product itself and improved it. I found another product that works well and has given me no problems. http://www.rangekleen.com/index.php?cPath=13_315

Don't know if I will be of much help for you but I mounted my Vega fence to a Grizzly table saw. Everything worked great, wholes lined up and I love that fence. Should have done it years ago but did not come across a Vega and just couldn't justify spending $400 or so dollars on one of the other fences.Bruce

Not sure what you are using it for, but if your planning on doing a permanent long term repair I would replace the metal. Por has been a big pain in the butt for me. I'm running into problems using it to restore a car right now. I wish I never used any of their products to be honest with you. That said if you are making a temporary repair it sticks to sand blasted or rusted metal. Scrape the flaky rust off and clean it with a wire wheel use there metal clean and apply. Granted there is a place and time for por15 but it's very hard to top coat and takes a long time for all the processes to be completed. There support line is usually pretty informative though.

There are several issues with this saw that need to be corrected. I am constantly squaring the fence among other things. If it's not too late, return the saw for a Bosch. If it's past the 30 days call Makita, they will claim that this is the first time that they have heard this complaint in an attempt to make you believe it's your fault. Don't buy it. Do a Google search on complaints for this saw and you will think very differently about the quality of this particular Makita product. I own over 25 Makita tools which are all good except for this one. I would have got a Bosch but Makita gave me the saw free of charge.

I have the same question. If you sell this product, you should probably endeavor to figure out the answer, as the Bosch 4100s are very popular, and getting more so because the price on them has recently dropped a lot. They make a digital fence for it themselves, not too much higher priced than your fence add-on, so you're going to have to work a bit to convince owners of 4100s that your product is good for them.

I purchased 8 sections for $170..still new in box because we decided to fence in our back yard. If you are are still looking and want to buy this, I will be willing to sell mine to you thru eBay for cheaper than what you would pay retail. My email is carrie3531@att.net, let me know if interested.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

Compatible is not the issue. It just does not work well. I have one that the company even tried swapping the collars for it. It never worked beyond about 2 ft. They are a piece of junk. Petsafe distributor finally gave me my money back for the entire fence but because I bought the indoor unit from Amazon and it took Petsafe two months to finally admit it does not work, I am stuck with it. Just don't buy it.

Great question! It appears to be well made and durable, but time will tell. I have two dogs that are not happy that their view to the surrounding yards has been taken away from them, but they have not tried to climb it yet (or if they have, they have not torn it). If I were to have to replace it in two years at about the same cost, I would be happy with that. It is maintenance free and a lot less expensive than privacy fence.

Like other responders I am not familiar with that particular table saw. What I can tell you is that the Vega fence is generic in its design and construction and therefore I believe it to be adaptable to many contractor and cabinet saws with normal table size (not bench top saws). I've found that most woodworkers are innovative so......, if you don't mind drilling some holes or supplementing hardware it is a great choice for an aftermarket fence. You tube is a good place to get a look at the fence and installation, and then compare to what you have in hand.
