I have never owned (or used) a band saw before and I am trying to self teach myself so I have a very basic question about fences. As soon as I got my $175 band saw home I immediately researched and ordered a $110 fence for it. Now, this blue fence looks right pretty sitting there but, other than resawing, do I have a need for it? Heck, the other day I tried using it to guide a straight cut and found out quick that wasn't right!!
