You may well be right--there was a small band saw in that basement, as well!

Definitely not a table saw fence. That cutout in the center makes me think router table fence.

That cutout sure looked like router table (or drill press) fence to me--but the sticker that says to remove before cross cutting made that dubious in my mind. If, on the other hand, the table saw fence was slotted, it COULD be a low rip fence attachment for a standard rip fence--kind of an add-on version for a high-low fence. Just spit-ballin' though.

That's from a Hirsh brand table saw conversion kit, which used a circular saw attached to the bottom of the table for a worksite table saw. I believe it also allowed for similar conversion to a router table, for which you reverse the fence and use the circular cutout.

Great call, that's a match! Based on your ID, a search brings up plenty of matches. Here's one:

Sorry to anyone who might now want to grab this fence, but last week I gave up and donated it to our local ReStore.
Thanks so much to everyone who has helped figure this out. I appreciate it!
