Subject: Biesemeyer Fence?

I just purchased a Jet Xacta Fence (52" homeshop) for my Craftsman 10"
contractor's saw (about 5 years old). It will not bolt directly to my
saw without drilling either the fence rail, or the saw table itself.
Does anyone know if the Biesemeyer 50" homeshop fence will bolt to my
saw without drilling new holes?  Any comments on either fence? 
Thanks...

I have the 3.5Hp craftmans contractor saw that cam with the biesmeyer
fence. I can chack the model (saw) or measure the mounting holes if
you want so that you can be sure if it will fit!

What's wrong with drilling new holes? I had to drill holes in both the
angle iron and the apron of my TS...no problem.

Well.  I bought a new Powermatic 60 cabinet saw with the B fence, and I
was rather shocked to find that I had to spend a couple days drilling
holes.  Even worse, there was already a tantalizing set of holes in the
saw's perimeter.  The instructions ( a xeroxed sheet ) said in bold
type not to use the existing holes.
    Upon reflection, this is perhaps the best way to insure good
alignment.  It was, however a lot of hard work.
