Thanked: 0Bandsaw purchased. It's a Rikon 10" bandsaw with a 3 1/8 inch rip height. Perfect for pens and other small turnings. Also perfect for slicing up scale material. I have some really nice looking Brazilian Rosewood that would make some nice scales. I think the grain is too big for nice pens, but I'm going to give it a try. Anyone know where I can get a fence for this saw that will allow me to easily control the thickness I am ripping? Here is the saw:

I paid 149USD for it. It's really nice, but I'd like to be able to control thicknesses for things like cutting my own pen blanks and eventually making scale blanks too.
Any advice?
PS-Lathe should be in Wednesday or Thursday.
