   I moved the original fence to a solid location for 8", and then made a   
   new fence for the regular position with a tooless screw/handle for angle   
   cuts.  Most of the time I do not use the original fence in its new   
   locations.  Maybe never since I got the 7x12 bandsaw for larger stock.

   That sounds like a better approach. I kept the original fence and changed   
   only the fasteners, so it's still clumsy to adjust.   
      
   I'd buy a 7x12 if I had the space for it. I got the 4x6 for $125 and it's a   
   Delta with upgraded small parts compared to others I'd tried. With mods and   
   careful adjustment it has been accurate and large enough for my metal   
   projects and cuts a 6x6 timber neatly enough to leave the end exposed. My   
   hoisting gear helps it handle long and heavy stock.
