"My Jet came with an aluminum “precision “ fence, that was everything but that. Finally replaced it with another brand, and had less than great results. So after seeing videos, I bought the precision bandsaw fence and I am now happy with my resawing and thickness cutting. Dead on accurate, and with the resaw attachment, I can make precise book match up to 13” tall"
"The quality of the parts is fine as well as general design, but there are some minor design flaws, and the kit of parts isn't like other Kreg products. The order of instructions for setup need tweaking - I followed them exactly and had to go back and repeat steps for alignment. Also, the design requires an odd sized allen key (4.5mm), so including it would have been helpful. Other Kreg products include the needed small tools. The clamp block does not slide well - some sort of rollers or perhaps a nylon slide bearing would be a design improvement. A rack and pinion would be even better, albeit at a higher price point, but I would have paid it. The need to apply the ruler is awkward, and the instructions need some tweaking there as well, particularly the need to trim its length (would be better to trim before applying). A minor design improvement here would be an extension on the opposite side of zero. A more major improvement would be a sliding or snap-in rule that is secured in place with setscrews, which would allow realignment if necessary later. The current design is absolutely non-forgiving - once it is in place, you are committed, even if you have to live with zero not being zero."
"A well-made product that works as advertised"
"I needed more precise control of cuts from a better fence than the light one that came with my WEN 14 inch bandsaw. The Kreg KMS7200 is much heavier and more solid than the old one and installed easily. I had to drill two holes in the front face of my bandsaw table but that went smoothly and the two bolts hold the Kreg fence rail very firmly. It slides easily to the desired settings and seems rigid when the knobs are tightened down which is what I need. I like the nifty little features such as the compensation setting for notorious "bandsaw blade drift". I found the fence a little pricey but the strength and quality are well worth the cost."
"Easy to assemble. Easy to use."
"Love this fence it makes my life so much better I don’t know how I went so long without one"
"Using on a 1948 Walker Turner Bandsaw that I just restored . Had to drill new holes as they didn't line up to the holes on my saw. (expected)Fence appears to be great quality and pretty beefy. Have assembled but have not done the final adjustments yet since i am waiting for a new blade. I am giving 5 stars now because I know the quality of Kreg products. (have several others) Have not had any issues with them."
"this review is for the Kreg KMS 7200 bandsaw fence when viewing it in pics you don't really get a sense of the heavy duty quality . . I'm installing now but had to stop to give this feedback as I'm that impressed. . ill get back with any issues if they arrive which i doubt very much doubt"
"Nice quality components and clear instructions. USA product. Setup was a breeze on my 14 inch Jet. This is a great upgrade to the bandsaw. The fence is easily removed and adjustable scale is a nice feature to maintain accuracy."
"Beautifully designed and constructed bandsaw fence, which fit precisely to the front of my old Ridgid bandsaw. The bar across the front is too long on the left side, so eventually I’ll just shorten it with a cut off saw. I love this Kreg tool."
