It is a FANTASTIC claim that the Paralok Pro is the World's BEST Table Saw Fence.
So let's PROVE it !!!
Uses effortless hydraulic power for the large castors that can roll easily over garage / driveway transitions. Strong construction, built to last!
For over 100 years people have complained about the fences on their table saws. Manufactures try to balance cost vs payback. The past standard has been a T-Square style of fence that only locks at one end. Poor design but inexpensive to manufacturer. Initial general consenses of manufactures has usually been to provide a fence that appears acceptable at purchase and then the fence problem is the buyer's problem. Over time the public's disgust of the T-Square design has caused manufacturers to greatly widen the "T" portion for improved accuracy. While it did provide an improvement to accuracy it creates a huge unusually heavy monstrosity of the T portion. Parallel problems are less but still exist. The lockdown is at right angles to the blade, again not a good design. Often with the T-Square design there can be a shift when the fence is locked down.

| 2.) Not Precise | 5.) Heavy & Bulky |
| 3.) Fence Flexes |
6.) Cannot be Made Accurate |

I acquired this fence system a couple of years ago in a literal pile of unisaws, fences and parts of a trim shop going out of business. I assembled all the parts into usable saws and sold or traded them off except one. I finally got around to putting this one together, with the Paralok 2 fence. Had I known anything about it I would have done so much sooner. It is the most accurate, smoothest, most repeatable system I have ever used. Better than my trusty old Biesemeyer. I had to search the internet to find an assembly manual. The cable and pulley system is a bit fiddly but once it’s adjusted it’s spot on. There is zero play in the fence from front to back. It looks like it was never used. At least there are no blade marks on the fence. Apparently the company was only in business a couple of years in the early nineties. The pictures just don’t do it justice.
