Multifunction Router Table Fence

Simon, this is a nice router table and fence. But I think the fence is really what makes this a top notch project. It makes these two a versatile combination that add a nice tool to your shop.

I’ve been looking for a good plan for a fence. I’m pretty sure I have that issue, so looks like I’ll have one soon enough. Thanks for the post! Great looking table and fence.

I need to build an entire new table and fence and this one looks like a winner. I’m saving it in my favorites.

Looks great, you should be able to do anything you need with this one.

You did a great job. That article is still, imho, is the best home built fence out there.

I found when I made it, however, using the same material you did, a mdf covered shelf from home depot, that the shelf had different thickness’s across the width. Unforntunately for me, I used a cross section for each piece across the fence rather than a straight cut along the lenght of the shelf. This resulted in pieces that are off a few thousands.

Someday I will fix it, but it’s been adaptable for me over the years.

The little compartments on the back of the fence make for a great little stowage spot too!

is the sheet mdf, or more like fiberboard? they had ones at lowes, and it didn’t seem like really dense stuff.

Also the top part of your with the laminate roundover.. was that part of the shelf too? i think i need to head to home depot instead.
