I checked out what I could find on line, and read reviews on 
various woodworkers' forums from folks who'd bought various 
fences. This seemed like an adequate step up in quality and 
function at a reasonable price. I couldn't see putting a $500, 
or even a $300 fence on a model 113.298032 mid 1970's vintage 
Crapsman table saw with a cast iron table that isn't even 
particularly flat. I did, however, need to get rid of the 
junky OEM fence that I'd been cursing all along. Should I ever 
reach critical mass on the saw and decide to replace it, I can 
then decide if I need a sexier fence to put on it. So far, 
this one seems quite adequate, and a couple of light years 
beyond the original fence.
