Beisemeyer fence install

I had a Jet Xacta XL cabinet saw with a Biesmyeyer clone Xacta fence. I built an extension table that wrapped around the back and right side of the saw cut to fit the outline of the table. Never used the rear rail and never needed it, the table was great support. You’ll need to use some UHMW plastic or something similar to make a button (bearing surface) to keep the fence from dragging on the outfeed table. It was a good set up. I’ve done the same with my new Vega Pro 40 fence system and it works very well. Just be sure to put that bearing block on the back end of the fence and use it to make the fence parallel to the saw table along it’s length and keep it from dragging when you move it.

No; you do not need a back rail. I is only there for the extension table. You can pick up a length of steel angle at any big box store for the back rail. A 2×2x3/16 angle or a slotted angle will work fine.

You need something to keep the fence above the saw table, but a piece of 2×2 angle as suggested by MrRon will work.
