What would be the main difference between the Biez and the Uni-fence? I could have easily gotten one of the grizz clones, but for some reason just decided to splurge this time.
I'm wondering what it is about the biez that makes it better. I mean, there really doesn't seem to be that much to it, Hardly anything to adjust, which as I'm finding out, I quite like.
Brent the Biez could be pulled off and put back on without changing anything It just stays adjusted and the indicator once set to the way you use the saw (ie where you are standing in relation to the fence when setting it) is repeatable with very little problems. The Uni-fence you have to make sure the handle is turn right or it wont lock down and it always moves every time you move the fence and the indicator is to far from the tape to be accurate or repeatable. I am having to adjust it all the time it just wont stay the only good thing about the Uni-fence is the fence can be set for a high fence or a low fence and I use the low for cutting small pipe sides but the Biez still works even better for that too in my opinion. I had to install a digital system to get repeat cuts with the Uni-fence not so with the Biez .
Now there are a lot of people that love there Uni-Saws I just dont happen to be one of them after having the Powermatic 66 with Biez fence its just a SO much better set up.
