To me, 90% of what makes a good table saw is the fence and a solid miter gauge that slides without wobble. The rest is really just a frame for an electric motor and I find even cheaper saws have enough power to spin a blade well enough for a good cut.

If the "Vintage" part is something that is important to you, then why not spend a couple of hundred for an new fence. If you are not attached to the saw, then perhaps it's time to shop for good used saw. But remember, a really good table saw with a fence that won't make you angry, like mine does mad, will end up costing you wayyy more than a new fence, even used.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
