I have a Rockler Sure-Loc miter gauge that I bought several years ago. At that time they were sold with an oak fence. Over the years that hunk of oak has taken a beating, and it warped a little. I looked in the Rockler catalog and noticed that the new version is sold with an aluminum fence! Great - all I need to do is upgrade the fence!
Nope.
Rockler will not sell the fence separately. Bummer. I sent them an email stating that I thought that this was shortsighted of them, not offering an upgrade path. Especially since the Incra is available on Amazon for $5 less than the new Sure-Loc.
I was not quite ready to drop over $100 on a new fence just yet, so I grabed up a few things that I had around the shop and made a new fence. Cost - $0. What a way to go.
Here's a shot of the new fence followed by a shot of the retired oak fence.
