I've thought about a Beismeyer fence, but there's never been any operation that the unifence couldn't handle, so I never felt an urgent need to change it. It's easy to set up on either side of the blade and you can move the fence fore and aft on the clamping T-Bar. I use the same fence on the router lift which sits in the extension table to the right of the saw.
The field coil for the PTO clutch degraded due to heat and age. The encapsulation material just got old, fractured, and began to fall apart.
