Dewalt 5140173-13 Rip Fence

Product Description

The DEWALT 5140173-13 is a replacement rip fence designed for use with DEWALT table saws and similar stationary cutting equipment. A rip fence is a critical guide component that mounts to the saw table and allows the operator to make accurate, repeatable straight cuts parallel to the blade. This OEM replacement part restores factory-level accuracy to saws with damaged, lost, or worn fencing systems. Carpenters, cabinetmakers, and general contractors rely on a properly functioning rip fence for consistent dimensional accuracy when breaking down sheet goods or ripping lumber to width.

This rip fence is suited for professional jobsite and shop environments where precise rip cuts are required. It is intended as a direct replacement for the original fence assembly on compatible DEWALT saw models. The part is installed when the existing fence no longer locks securely, slides smoothly, or holds a parallel alignment to the blade, conditions that compromise cut quality and operator safety.

Key Features

• OEM replacement part ensures factory-correct fit and alignment
• Designed to restore accurate, repeatable parallel cuts
• Compatible locking mechanism for secure fence positioning during operation
• Direct drop-in replacement reduces installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rip fence for compatible DEWALT table saw models. Refer to your saw model documentation or DEWALT parts lookup to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Rip fence replacement is typically performed by woodworking equipment technicians or experienced operators. Disconnect and lock out the saw from its power source before removing or installing any fence hardware. After installation, verify that the fence locks parallel to the blade using a reliable straightedge or alignment tool before returning the saw to service. Consult the equipment manufacturer service documentation for any model-specific mounting procedures.
