A good fence system is one of the most important parts of a table saw setup. Accuracy, repeatability, and ease of adjustment all depend on the fence, which is why many woodworkers consider upgrading it one of the best improvements they can make in their shop. The SawStop T-Glide Advance Rip Fence is designed with that idea in mind, offering both precision and versatility in a single system.
In this video, we take a closer look at the T-Glide Advance and the features that make it stand out. The fence rides on a heavy-duty rail system to ensure smooth travel and consistent alignment, and the aluminum faceplate offers a stable, flat reference surface. What separates the T-Glide Advance from many fences is how adaptable it is. The dual measurement indicators allow you to quickly and confidently lock in repeatable settings, even when changing the fence configuration.
The fence can be used in several positions depending on the operation. The standard upright position is ideal for most ripping tasks, while the lower fence face makes it easier to support thinner material and reduce pinch points. The fence can also be used as an L-fence, which is especially helpful for flush trimming, cutting rabbets, or working safely with jigs. A built-in dovetail track along the fence makes it easy to attach shop-made accessories, jigs, and feather boards to support more advanced setups.
Whether you're building furniture, working with sheet goods, or fine-tuning joinery, the T-Glide Advance is built to support accuracy and repeatability across a wide range of woodworking tasks. It's a system that grows with your skill level and your shop.
