Abstract
A table saw fence includes a clamping member at both the front and rear of the fence to provide substantial clamping power and accuracy. The fence includes an interior cavity housing a linkage mechanism that engages the front and rear clamps through the actuation of a single handle. Furthermore, the fence includes an opening leading to the interior cavity, thereby permitting the blade, riving knife, blade guard, and any other blade accessories to extend within the interior cavity when the fence is used in a blade cover configuration.
