Purchased a Kreg bandsaw re-sawing guide from Shopsmith and installed it on my old bandsaw fence. I had to drill two slots in the fence and two additional holes in the re-sawing guide. The Kreg fence sure would be nice but this should get me buy for now.
I drilled the Shopsmith fence using the Shopsmith and the holes/slots didn't come out quite as straight as I wanted but it works. The slots let me adjust the guide for different width blades from 1/4" to 5/8". The diagram in the Kreg instructions is a little confusing but I think I finally got it right, the center of the guide leads the blade by 1/4"
