The Powermatic 2000 table saw fence is difficult to adjust due to friction. The answer to this is to attach a 2” caster wheel to the end of the fence. The fence will now move very freely. Hope this is helpful. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking

It is great for moving smoothly. What is the locking mechanism, to keep it true and rigid for cutting?

I love it. have you had problems with saw dust build up in the track raising the fence?
I am for sure going to steal this.

Nice idea. I too am wondering how to keep the fence parallel with the blade with this setup.

This is the far end of the fence. The “T” part where the lock is is unaffected.
The Sawstop fence is the same way. It just has a teflon pad stuck to the underside of the fence out near the free end.
