Here are some pictures.

 

The Delta T2 is about the best bang for the buck going at ~ $150 shipped from Tools-plus.com. The Vega, Shop Fox Aluma Classic, and Shop Fox Classic, Biesemeyer, HTC, and Jet Xacta are all excellent for more money.

Description of T2 says it clamps front and rear? Is that correct or does it just clamp in front and float in back of saw on guide support? TIA

 

I really like my T2 upgrade on my old Delta 34-444 but my original fence as completely worn out and I had to readjust it many times for every project. I caution you that sometimes upgrading can be a "gee I wish I had something new" kind of thing. We all seem to think that something newer will be better and it is not always the case. If your existing fence is working for you and you're able to keep it square why would you want to change? I like to remind myself that the old-timers turned out some precision work with "old iron".

 

I have the T2 on an older delta tied to a c man contractor style saw and love it. I agree. Best bang for the buck.

My fence is usable but very difficult to set. Beside that the saw is great

 

the biesemyer and the t2 will make cutting so much easier....but at the cost of them they are a mite small and feeble.......I say build your own

Biesemeyer small and feeble? lol

 

I upgraded my 1950 delta unisaw with the vega pro 40. I love it. It was almost $300 from amazon though. But its worth the money.

 

Thanks for telling us about the Vega. Looks like the price dropped if its the same as yours, not sure?

My son was going to buy the T2 for his 22114 C-man, might have to reconsider and look at the Vega.

 

I used aircraft grade aluminum for both tubes, but I already had it. dont know what the cost would be on it now.and I dont think reg alum would work...to soft for the cam
I also checked some bed frame rail against 3/16 angle and the bed frame rail won hands down and was way lighter, it is PITA to drill and weld but it is worth it I think.

 

Thanks for telling us about the Vega. Looks like the Video Link: http://www.amazon.com/Vega-PRO-40-42-Inch-40-Inch/dp/B000022621/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1326878343&sr=1-1 if its the same as yours, not sure?

Yep that's the same one. I wrote a review on it.... "almost perfect"

 

My T2 only clamps to the front just like any other of the T squared style of fences. There is a little metal bracket at the back that captures the rear rail but it isn't for locking the fence in place.
