Key Features

Aluminum Fence Face

Replaces the stock 1/2 inch laminated plywood face with a 7/8 inch hardcoat-anodized aluminum extrusion for a straighter, tougher reference surface.

Guide-Ready Top Track

The top track is sized to direct mount JessEm Clear-Cut Stock Guides, which saves setup time and keeps stock tracking tighter through the cut.

Fast Upgrade

Installs in minutes on a SawStop T-Glide fence with no drilling or fence modifications, so you get a cleaner upgrade without turning it into a project.

Overview

The Woodpeckers Versa-Fence Face Upgrade for SawStop Table Saws is a table saw fence upgrade built for SawStop T-Glide fence owners who want a straighter, slicker, more useful fence face. This is a fence face upgrade designed for improving support, stock feed, and accessory mounting on a table saw fence. For this variant, Model Number VFFU-PCS36, you get the 36 inch version sized to replace the factory fence face with a more rigid aluminum setup.

The big change here is material and thickness. Instead of the stock 1/2 inch laminated plywood face, this upgrade uses a 7/8 inch hardcoat-anodized aluminum extrusion. In real shop use, that means a tougher fence face that is less likely to wear, swell, or get knocked out of true over time. If you rely on your rip fence for repeatable cuts, that added rigidity matters because your fence face is one of the main reference surfaces you touch every single day.

Woodpeckers also built the surface to help stock move easier. The anodizing process includes PTFE, which reduces drag as boards slide along the fence. That is a practical benefit, not a throwaway spec. Less resistance means smoother feeding on long rips, better control when working with sheet goods or longer boards, and less tendency for stock to hang up when you are trying to keep pressure consistent through the cut.

Another smart part of the design is the top track. It is sized to direct mount JessEm Clear-Cut Stock Guides, which gives this fence upgrade real utility beyond just being straighter than stock. If you already use stock guides, or have been meaning to, this makes the fence do more work without forcing you into a custom mounting solution. The product description also notes compatibility with featherboards when optional brackets are used, which broadens how the fence can be set up for control and repeatability.

Installation is one of the stronger selling points. The Woodpeckers Versa-Fence Face Upgrade for SawStop Table Saws installs in just minutes with no drilling and no modifications to your T-Glide fence. That is the right kind of upgrade for most woodworkers: meaningful performance improvement without permanently altering an expensive saw. You get a cleaner fit, more support, and a more capable fence without taking your saw apart for half a day.

This upgrade makes the most sense for woodworkers who use their SawStop regularly and are tired of treating the fence face like a weak link. Cabinet shops, serious hobbyists, furniture builders, and trim carpenters working from a shop setup will all appreciate the benefit. If you want your SawStop fence to feed smoother, stay straighter, and accept stock-control accessories more easily, this is a smart upgrade instead of a cosmetic add-on.

Smoother Feeding, Better Control

A fence face should help stock move cleanly and stay under control. The hardcoat-anodized aluminum surface with PTFE is built to reduce drag, so feeding material feels more predictable from start to finish.

• Replaces a 1/2 inch plywood face with a 7/8 inch aluminum extrusion
• PTFE in the anodized finish helps stock slide with less resistance

Add Stock Guides Without Workarounds

The top track is one of the most useful parts of this upgrade. It is sized for direct mounting of JessEm Clear-Cut Stock Guides, which gives you cleaner integration and faster setup when you need more control over the cut.

Pro Tip

If you already run stock guides on your table saw, this upgrade is worth it for the top track alone. Direct mounting keeps the setup cleaner and faster than piecing together a separate fence-face workaround.

Turns a Good SawStop Fence Into a More Capable One

The Woodpeckers Versa-Fence Face Upgrade for SawStop Table Saws is the kind of upgrade that makes sense the first time you push a board across it.

• Who it’s for: SawStop owners who want a straighter fence face, smoother stock feed, and cleaner mounting for stock-control accessories.
• Why it stands out: The 7/8 inch anodized aluminum face is a real step up from plywood, and the direct-mount top track for JessEm guides is a genuinely useful feature.
• Worth knowing: This VFFU-PCS36 version is the 36 inch model, so if you are shopping for the added support shelf mentioned on 48 inch versions, that is a different size.
