Key Features
Locks ParallelOnce aligned, the fence locks parallel to the blade. That matters because repeatable rip cuts start with a fence that stays put instead of drifting under pressure. Built-In Accessory SlotThe dovetail-shaped slot accepts feather boards, sacrificial fences, and jigs. That gives the SawStop ATGP-FA Professional T-Glide Advance Rip Fence more range for specialty setups without cobbling together clamps. Hi-Low Fence FaceThe aluminum face works in two positions and slides forward and back. That helps with thin workpieces, jig clearance, and stop-block style setups for safer repeat cuts.
Overview
The SawStop ATGP-FA Professional T-Glide Advance Rip Fence is a table saw rip fence upgrade for SawStop PCS and CNS saws. This is a rip fence designed for accurate ripping, repeatable setups, and more flexible workholding on a table saw. Model Number: ATGP-FA. If your current setup does the job but feels limited when you start adding jigs, thin rips, or stop-block style crosscut setups, this fence is the part that opens things up.
The big draw here is not just that it locks down, but how it adds usable function to the fence itself. SawStop built in a dovetail-shaped slot that accepts feather boards, sacrificial fences, and other jigs. On the job or in the shop, that means faster setup for controlled rips and custom support without having to improvise with clamps that get in the way.
The fence face is dead-flat aluminum, which matters more than it sounds. A rip fence only helps if it stays straight over time, and aluminum gives you a stable reference surface that will not warp like wood shop-made add-ons can. SawStop also uses a hi-low face design, so you can run the fence in two positions depending on the cut, the stock, or the accessory setup you need.
One of the smarter details is the sliding fence face. It moves forward and back so you can use the tail end as a stop block for repeat crosscuts without trapping the offcut between the fence and blade. That is the kind of feature experienced table saw users appreciate because it solves a real setup problem in a cleaner, safer way than makeshift solutions.
SawStop also added separate scale indicators for the high and low fence positions, which keeps measurement changes obvious when you swap positions. At the rear of the tube, rollers help the fence glide smoothly across the cast-iron top and reduce wear marks on the table surface. In plain terms, it is easier to move, easier to position, and easier to trust when you are dialing in a cut.
Compatibility is straightforward. The SawStop ATGP-FA Professional T-Glide Advance Rip Fence fits existing SawStop T-Glide fence rails with no conversion or modification needed, and it is compatible with the SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw and SawStop Contractor Saw. If you already run one of those saws with T-Glide rails, this is a clean bolt-on upgrade instead of a project.
Physically, the aluminum fence face measures 34-3/4 inches long by 1-1/8 inches wide by 2-3/4 inches high, the tube measures 35 inches long by 3 inches wide by 2 inches high, and the unit weighs about 22 pounds. That puts it squarely in the category of a substantial shop component, not a lightweight add-on. It is built for users who care about precision, smooth travel, and accessory-friendly setups.
Who should buy it? Woodworkers, cabinet shops, trim carpenters, furniture builders, and serious DIY users running a compatible SawStop saw. If you mostly make basic rips and never change your setup, your current fence may be enough. If you want a fence that does more than just ride along the rail, this one earns its spot.
Better Control for Real Table Saw Work
A good rip fence should move easily, lock solid, and give you confidence before the blade ever touches the stock. This one is built for that kind of everyday use.
- Fits existing SawStop T-Glide fence rails with no conversion or modification needed
- Locks parallel to the blade once aligned for repeatable ripping accuracy
More Useful Than a Standard Rip Fence

- Dovetail-shaped slot accepts feather boards, sacrificial fences, and jigs
- Hi-low aluminum fence face can be used in either position
Smarter for Repeat Cuts
The sliding face is the detail that separates this fence from a basic replacement part. It lets you create stop-block style setups without pinching the offcut against the blade.
- Fence face slides forward and back for safer repeatable crosscut setups
- Separate scale indicators for high and low positions keep measurements clear
Smooth Travel, Less Table Wear
Small mechanical details make a difference over years of use. SawStop supports the rear of the tube with rollers so the fence glides smoothly and is easier on the cast-iron top.
- Twin tail-end rollers help the fence move smoothly across the tabletop
- Designed to reduce wear marks on the cast iron surface
