A rip fence for a table saw including a front rail and a rear rail. The rip fence includes a front clamping mechanism having a locking tip positioned adjacent to the front rail, a pivotable activation plate and a handle. A rear clamping mechanism is positioned adjacent to the rear rail, and the activation plate is coupled to the rear clamping mechanism where the handle is movable between a release position and a locking position. The activation plate includes a rolling member movable between an upper end and a lower end of the activation plate, wherein when the handle is moved from the release position to the locking position, the rolling member moves from the upper end to the lower end of the activation plate, causing the activation plate to move the rear clamping mechanism into engagement with the rear rail. |
