Ryobi Rip Fence

[kooster]

Does anyone have any info on where to locate/purchase a rip fence for a
Ryobi BS 902 band saw.
I know it's been replaced by the 903 but I understand that the fence is still available as it wil also fit the newer model.
Thanks for any leads on where to find this fence.

try

Ryobi BS902 Parts List and Diagram : eReplacementParts.com ... this site lists it and has it priced at about $14.00

Thank you for your response. Hopefully this will work with the 903 also.

I think they have 903 parts also - they seem to have about all the parts listed for Ryobi band saws.

The supplier for factory replacement parts, has some parts for the older version saws. When they bring out a new saw, they don't re-order the parts as the run out for the older saw. If it will fit on more than one model saw it has a better chance of being kept in stock. My tension device was changed so it was gone, which meant a new saw or bring in the 14 inch Delta and tuning and trick it out!

the top bar clamp is what I made for my ryobi 9" band saw. I put a wood section screwed to the bar so it would only move enough to go on and off. With the 20% off coupon and a scrap piece it was cheap enough and worked well.

I ordered the fence from the site above. Their rep checked and couldn't find any compatibility issues. If it doesn't work/fit, I'll post and alert anyone who's interested.
Nice idea with the bar clamp. Thanks again for the feedback.
