The fence is parallel to the blade, which will almost certainly result in very serious injury or death. It holds great and provides a nice fence to resaw some wood. It is great for veneers with a sacrificial fence on a bandsaw, also great for drill press and saw table. The slot on the top of the fence is much smaller. It does hang off front and back a bit but no problem.
There are 4 slots where the switchable magnets can be mounted. It is easy to engage and disengage, and the magnets are powerful. The fence stays in place when you lock it down.
