Looking on VintageMachinery.org it is described as a 'baby uni-fence'
Anyone familiar with this.
Thanks, Bill
I have that fence on my "Great White" edition Unisaw, and love it, dead balls accurate. You get the extension table too. That's a screaming deal, and the fence is the "real" deal, OEM.

The Unifence sold with their contractors saws did have a slightly shorter fence than the ones sold with Unisaws, would that be the reason to call it a "baby"? They were otherwise the same as far as I know (I had both, and they are great fences.) But I've never seen one labeled "Precision Saw Guide".
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
I have one on my 1957 Craftsman table saw. Very accurate and easy to use.
Wish I had longer rails for it, but my searches thus far have been fruitless.

How long are your current rails ? What length are you looking for ?
I don't know about the baby Unifence, but the Unifence is a great fence. Had on om my old 60's/70's Unisaws for quite a while now and have never had any problems with it.

The rail I have is 41 inches. Which some previous owner undoubtedly cut down from the longer version.
I have had a few of the shorter thirty inch ones pop up now and then. As I understand it the long version
was about fifty two or so.
Several years back I bought a basket case craftsman saw solely because it had two webbed cast iron
extension tables that I could mate up to mine. Hence, the need for a longer rail for the fence. I don't cut
big stuff all that often but the additional capability would be nice.
