Power Tool Care and Maintenance 101
This article suggests guidelines for power tool care and maintenance. It also describes information tools available at eReplacementParts.com.
I have researched this one from every angle I can think of and here is what I have found.
Ryobi offers a rip fence which is listed for the BS902 bandsaw. It is part #880059000. Ryobi does not cross reference this fence to any other model. Comparing the tables on the BS902 to the BS903, they look almost identical. I did find one reference on a discussion forum (I can't remember which one, I looked at lots of them!) that the fence for the BS902 would work with the BS903. I cannot confirm that. The fence #880059000 is available from http://ereplacementparts.com.
I also found that Sears offers a universal fence in their Craftsman line. They claim it will fit any benchtop or stationary bandsaw.
I hope this helps!

Hi Guys, I experienced the same problem when I purchased my BS903, and contacted the Ryobi Service center, They were most helpful and gave me the names of local parts dealers where I could order the rip fence from the specs/BS902, and it will work as the tables are the same.The part number is 88059000 and should be around the $15.00 cdn.
