cut freehand. A bandsaw blade will always run off to one side or the other, even using a fence.
The rip fence is intended for re-sawing only, and very thin strips

SOURCE: cutting straight
No blade is going to cut perfectly straight. You have to adjust your fence for drift. Using a test piece of wood maybe 10" with a flat edge and marked to the width you want to cut work it into the blade about half way then stop your blade. Mark the edge where you are going to put your fence with a pencil. It will never be 90 degrees to the blade. Good luck. I use a Delta bandsaw and I do not use a metal clamp fence. I made my own fence that way I can clamp it where I want. You can find plans online to build one yourself.

SOURCE: I can't get this saw to cut straight or square I
Band saws pull to one side on straight cuts, it's a function of the blade torque. My 14" saw pulls to the right. There's nothing you can do to stop this, you have to be aware of it so you account for it on free cuts and know to put your fence on that side so the wood pulls into the fence instead of away from it. Squaring the blade to the table is easier. Do not go by the tilt angle guide. First make absoutely sure all of your blade guides and bearings are properly alligned so they aren't pushing the blade out of line. Use a square to get it close then: using a 4" x 4" block of wood, make a light cut in the wood only deep enough to mark the wood from top to bottom. Turn the block over 180 and try to make a cut in the previous cut mark. If the cuts line up you're there. If you get a V or X you have to make adjustments to the table making sure you tighten the trunion locks tight. I had one of these, it's not a high end saw so don't expect a lot from it.
