B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence
UNLOCK
YOUR BANDSAW’S TRUE POTENTIAL
A Bandsaw is always essential for any woodworking shop, but standard fences often lack rigidity, suffer from alignment drift, don’t slide smoothly, and require constant adjustment—compromising cut quality and undermining the saw’s true potential.
The Big Eye B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence was engineered to change that. The Big Eye B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence is an adaptation of our award-winning table saw fence—the BIG EYE B-36/52 Rip Fence System.
Renowned for its revolutionary design and unmatched precision, the B-36/52 earned widespread acclaim from woodworkers and quickly became one of the most popular table saw fences on the market.
Now, that legendary design and engineering have been reimagined for the unique demands of bandsaw work in the form of the BIG EYE B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence—combining effortless travel, rock-solid stability, and precision you can trust on every project.
Featuring a Dual-Axis Linear Guide Rail and Bearing System, this design delivers unparalleled, ultra-smooth fence positioning. Combined with a built-in gear-driven micro-adjuster, fine-tuning your settings has never been easier.
From heavy-duty resawing to delicate veneer slicing, the BIG EYE B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence transforms your bandsaw into a precision instrument.
Designed with broad compatibility in mind, the BIG EYE B-70 Bandsaw Rip Fence isn’t just built for Harvey bandsaws—it’s engineered to fit most models of major bandsaw brands on the market, including Powermatic, JET, Laguna, Grizzly, and others.
Built on Harvey’s legacy of industrial-grade innovation, it’s more than just a better fence—it’s your key to cleaner cuts, smoother workflows, and professional-grade results.

Compatibility requires meeting two key conditions, and some installations may involve minor modifications*.
1. A minimum of 5-35/64″ (140mm)between the table’s front edge and the column, ensuring the fence slides freely without contacting the column (as shown in Fig. 1).
2. Table width must not exceed 21-21/32″ (550mm) (as shown in Fig. 1).
