Pivoting Router-Table Fence is Simple and Effective
Nov 15, 2011
Although I have an ultra-precise Incrafence system on my router table, a simple plywood fence gets the most use. It’s easy to make and pivots on one end, which makes the adjustments easy as pie. The pivoting end is attached with a knob that goes through the fence and table and threads into a T-nut on the bottom of the table. At the other end, the fence clamps to the edge of the table with a simple knob and bolt arrangement. When I’m using this fence, I attach a shopmade sheet-metal dust catcher to the Incra fence and attach a hose from my shop vacuum.
