I just finished installing the Jet 30" homeshop fence on my 10" Craftsman
this last weekend. I drilled and countersunk new holes in the two angle
iron mounting rails on the fence. Other than that it went on great! I'm
very happy with it. I didn't have to do any other adjustments, it was
square and parallel right out of the box.

Ken,

Sears sells some of their CSs with Biesemeyer fences, I had one for a
couple of years.  If you give Sears a call, find out if the one they sell
is made by Biesemeyer (now Delta) for their saws, or if they all fit
Craftsman saws.  If they do, I would think you can get a fence cheaper
>from  Delta then from Sears.
