That answers what I wasn't sure about in your original post, if you needed a taller fence for resawing or you are starting from zero.

I don't have experience with after market BS fences, in general Kreg is a good brand.
They have a couple of heights of add-ons for resawing.

On Google, Amazon etc search for: bandsaw fence

Some are magnetic, I'd rather have a rail system. This Grizzly is interesting, but you would need to check that it will fit the front-to-back size of your table. Maybe if your table is larger the fence can work without the rear rail?

Please post what solution you come up with.

Edit: Sometimes I make my own shop stuff, sometimes I prefer to buy it. Here's a DIY example:
while your shop made looks and works great, my blade is changed from the front and not the side so thats added a new dimension for me to think on. i bought this saw on auction. it a 2004, europen(italy) model, it does run but thats all i know. need to get a blade, try to do a tune up, and figure out my fence, thanks

as i looked on the Laguna website (and accessories are limited), i looked at their current models and they look almost unchanged in 17 years i finally got hold of Laguna and talked with a rep about the standard rip fence they currently sell, and she was gonna pass my info on to a technician. i swear they look like it should still work!
