By David from sacramento, California on October 23, 2011
I have two questions, 1. I bought the Delta 78-055b rail and tube, says 52 inch but the scale on the one I received goes to 55 1/2 inch, did I receive the correct one? 2. which fence goes with this rail? thank you
By Customer Service on October 24, 2011

Answer:
Yes, you did receive the correct set of rails. They say 52" rip capacity to the right of the blade, but you can get a 55" rip. When you first set up the rail, (and that is where the answer to your second question comes in to play) you should use a tape and measure from the right side of the blades to the left side of the fence to make sure the cursers are set correctly. If you purchase the fence for this you will find it has two cursers: 1) you would use the curser to the right side of the fence for cuts made to the right of the blade; 2) the curser to the left of the fence for cuts made to the left of the blade. Also, the 78-919B is the correct fence for the 78-055B rails.

By Customer Service on January 20, 2012

Answer:
That would probably depend on its size. To get a quicker and better answer, it might be a good idea to contact Delta's tech service line directly. (877) 832-4301

I have a Unisaw model number 34-802. Will this fit my saw?
By Customer Service on December 28, 2011

Answer:
This unit is not an entire fence, just so you know. This is just the rail and tube.

By Tim from Virginia Beach, VA on January 23, 2012
Will this rail and tube work with an older unisaw (2002-ish Delta X5, 36-L31X) and older Biesemeyer fence?
