Geoff,
I am a brand new BF6-31 owner and the jointer/planer was the first function
I used. I had some pretty wide boards to face joint and I just did without
the fence. After one small opening error, I had no problem at all doing the
jointing. (Red-faced admission here - the first time I tried it, I had the
function set to mortising instead of planing/jointing - does not work big
time!)
Regards - Seth

My old Robland X31 had this same issue. I just face jointed without the
fence. For stock that's near the max cutter width you just need to make
sure you don't "wander off the table" while you feed, but in practice this
was never a problem - it's alot easier than you'd imagine, and I face
jointed plenty of near 12" boards. Use the guard as well.

I've had my '97 BF6-31 for almost two weeks now, and have been spending
my
evenings cleaning up the machine and checking alignment. One thing I
have
noticed is that the fence when mounted on the in-feed jointer table can
not
allow use of the full width of the jointer
