W1410 AKA Grizzly G4722 the good and bad
By Tiger 2
I just received my G4722 fence from Grizzly. It appears to be the same as the W1410 at Amazon, same initial price size features etc. I will be honest about this review. First, the packaging was marginal, the trip from Taiwan to my house was rough. The front rail was bent in two directions and had broke through the box when delivered, not sure if that was due to UPS or the trip across the Pacific. Obviousley the up arrow on the box was not considered critical. The main head stock was hammered by the rails during freight. But that's okay, cosmetics are secondary to function. The front rail bolted up fine with the existing holes on my Grizzly G1022 table saw, it took a little bending to get it straight enough, but that was not too bad. The back rail had the same bolt centers from left to right, but not what was needed top to bottom. I had to drill two new holes in the saw table for the rear rail. Fox Saw provides a drill and tap for such occasions, both of which are Chinese junk. I predrilled the hole with my 3/16 bit and tried to drill the 5/16 hole with the provided bit. The Chinese bit would NOT drill the cast iron table (so it went to the trash). Used my own HSS 5/16 drill bit and it went through in seconds. Next, the 3/8X16 tap provided, again junk would not tap, just rounded over. I decided to just through bolt the back rail using 5/16 bolts, nuts and lock washers. The good news. once i got the rails proper placed and adjusted, the fence was easy to fine tune. Square to the blade easy to adjust, square to the table easy to adjust. Cam over to lock the fence requires more force than my other fence but it locks solid and square. With the standard rails I have 25" to the right and 8" to the left of the blade. The fence came with rail corner protectors, nice thought but not really useable, since the angle rail fits snug againt the saw and the right sides have a brace, the rubber protectors won't fit securely.So, at the end of the day, i paid $199 for the fence from Grizzly on sale. It works so much better than my orininal fence. No more measuring the fence front to back. just set it on the easy to read scale and that's the dimension i get. It would be a 5 star product if it it got to me without damage and I did not have to make modifications to my saw with a junk drill bit and tap. The instructions are okay if you are mechanically inclined and can read between the lines, I'm sure any good wood crafter can do.Shop Fox W1410 Fence with Standard Rails

Shop Fox W1410 tablesaw fence w/standard rails
By Jay
I have a Hitachi C10FL table saw. The Hitachi fence has been described in some reviews as "decent." Not mine. I could never adjust it to anything remotely resembling consistency or holding square. It slewed terribly between front and back I always, always had to measure front and back to guarantee squareness. I got fed up. One of the new additions for my new shop project was a new fence! It took a lot of study. There are a lot of choices and a fairly wide spread of prices.I narrowed my choices down based upon reviews, merits and whether or not I liked it's looks. (Not much of a recommendation I know but, hey, Looks has to count for something:) Then I started juggling $$$ signs. My choice was not the cheapest but, was in the lower quadrant.What I finally settled upon was the "Shop Fox" W1410 "manufactured for Woodstock." It's "made in Taiwan" but the quality from there is not necessarily bad these days. It just depends on what level of quality the item customer is willing to pay for. From what I have seen, the quality of this is second to none. Now, the rails are simple angle iron. Nothing fancy about that but it's plenty sturdy! Other than the sight window for the scale, there is no plastic in this thing. It is solidly built of steel and aluminum.In keeping with the comment from another reviewer, my fence came well packed in a sturdy box and was free from defects or damage.This fence is tall, slick sided and basically black. It came with "standard rails," namely the aforementioned angle iron and two end pieces for an optional table addition that I did not use. The holes did not match up with my saw but, that is no surprise and no problem. They actually supply a bit and tap for putting in new holes but, throw those away! I tried them and they are no good. A tap that can't cut threads in cast iron isn't worth wasting your time with. Still, that was no problem either. I used my own.The instructions are well illustrated and clear but, there was one detail that I goofed on. Let me blame VA meds for that embarrassment. The rail in back is supposed to mount 1/16" of an inch below the table top. The one in front also 1/16" of an inch down BUT, down from the bottom of the MITER SLOT. NOT the table top. I missed that little detail. MY fault, it was clearly written but, still, an easy oversight to make.When the fence went on the rails it rolled smoothly, firmly and with no trace of front to back shifting. It was rock solid. One problem though was the clamping force required was excessively hard. That was understandable though. The maximum length of table the fence is made for is given as 27-1/4". My table is 27-1/8". Pretty near the limit. Adjustment is tricky and a bit of a pain. You have to pull pins, disconnect parts and make adjustment turns front & back, reassemble and test it again. You have to do this incrementally until you get it adjusted to suit. Still, it only took two tries to get it right. I checked parallelism from miter slot and blade and it was spot on.Now it clamps easily but firmly. There is no shift or wobble and it holds parallelism rock solid! I am very happy with it. One feature I believe that holds it in place so well is it's wide `foot print.' It has one roller in back and two quite widely spaced in front. The rollers are steel, grooved so they ride on the edge of the angle iron and can't ride up or sag down. The front rollers serve for fine adjustment which they allow smoothly and easily.There is a slot down the center top of the fence to take Tee nuts (you'll see two on the fence in the pics) and there are clamps sold separately to work with this fence I have not bought. For $186.70- free shipping but, tax charged, I am well satisfied and thrilled to have a fence that is an asset instead of an aggravation.The only problems incurred in assembly were of my own making. I posted pics to the item page.

Awesome fence
By Knowell Matthews
I bought this fence as a replacement for the one found on my old grizzly table saw. The instructions are very easy to follow. I did have to drill 2 new mounting holes in the back of the saw for the rear rail to bolt to. Easy enough. One word of caution, the drill bit and tap that comes with the kit are junk so expect to have your own 5/16 bit w/ a 3/8 tap on hand to mount this unit. Other than that the fence was a breeze to install and set square to the table. When you lock it down it doesn't move and stays very accurate. I gave it 4 out of five stars only because of the inferior tap and drill bit. I would highly recommend this fence to anyone that wishes to bring there old table saw to the next level of accuracy.
