300016 Deluxe 24 Inches Long Router Table Fence 3-1/2 Inches Tall Anodized Aluminum with Feather Board, Bit Guard, Adjustable Stop and Dust Port

This is an extremely good value for $60. I was planning to build a simple fence out of 1/4" aluminum angle, but saw this product and decided to try it. It was so good I'm writing this review after assembly but before really using it.The fence is an aluminum extrusion that is about 0.2 inches thick at it is thinnest point - so it's very heavy and rigid. The extrusion is square to within about 0.001, using a machinist's square and feeler gauge. I don't have a surface plate or machinist's straightedge at hand, but I would expect it is also very flat since it is an extrusion. I have looked at Kreg, Jessem, etc. fences in stores and they seem similar quality - but are 2-3 times more money.The fence is made in Taiwan according to the box and has no instructions other than an assembly diagram. It took about 10 minutes to read the diagram and have it completely assembled. All the hardware is 1/4-20 except for a metric screw that holds the dust hood in place. The MDF auxiliary fences are nicely covered in laminate on five sides and sit flush with the bottom of the main fence, with thumbscrews to set the bit opening. I would have preferred a small gap to allow for sawdust, but you can shim the whole fence if you want that, or route a chamfer on the aux fence, etc. The extrusion takes 1/4-20 hex bolts in slots on the front and top (like t-track) and there is a shallow groove on top for an included measuring tape.The fence comes with two big knobs with 1/4-20 threads to attach to the router table, presumably by routing a slot in the table for a 1/4-20 bolt or a clamp block if your table is shorter.. I will likely just use F-clamps for a while, since I'm used to the Bill Hylton method of fence clamping and adjustment.Construction quality of the fence seems very good. The extrusion is nicely milled, but there was a just-feelable burr on some of the milled edges. Auxiliary fence is nicely made, good lamination job and solid nut inserts. The stop block and the big knobs are OK, but not superb.Mine arrived with a small chip in the dust hood, likely from shipping damage. If I have an unexpected problem in use, I'll update this review.

I was hesitant to order this since there is not a lot of information on it out there, the other option was to get a Kreg, Incra or another one of the name brand woodworking tools. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the fence: it looks and feels like it’s we’ll make out of quality extruded aluminum; the fence is complete with a feather board, but guard and stop block, they even include a couple of aluminum rods that can help you joint wood on your router table if you don’t have a jointer.All the parts seem very functional and well made, with the exception of the stop block that I might replace by making my own or buying an aluminum one.I would highly recommend this product.

When the fence came in and I began unboxing, I realized I could not build my own with the same components for the price. Good quality and items went together easily. There are no instructions, however there is an exploded diagram. If this is not good enough, you should probably find another hobby.My only negative comment I have would be the rule tape that came with the kit. It is too wide to fit in the space on the top of the fence. Not a deal breaker but needs to be corrected. Fix this and I would give it a 5 star.

I had a custom router table I purchased and decided to put a router lift in it. It had an aluminum top with fence installed. Removed that and purchased this fence. It is nicely built and will do everything I want. The instructions are a little vague but it is pretty straight forward to set up. If nothing else, look at the online photo and you can figure it out. Can't wait to actually finish setting up the table top so I can install and use the fence.

I had just upgraded to a cabinet saw and needed to rebuild my router table. Since this was the fifth one that I’ve built it was not difficult but then came to the fence. I built the last one tha clamps onto my saw’s rip fence. But this time I wanted an independent fence as I have had occasions that I needed to use the rip fence for the saw before I was entirely done with the router table. The other change I made was to work the router table from the side instead of from the end of the table saw mounted router table. That leaves more space for the table saw fence to its right. I bought this fence after watching a number of YouTube video reviews. It’s a lot cheaper than Woodpecker or Kreg’s and in comparison works just as well. Sure there are more bells and whistles on the big name brands but most can be added later either as DIY or bought. I’ve run into only one inconvenience and that’s one of the lock screws for adjusting the opening of the fence sits squarely in front of the large handle that locks the fence. You can only get two fingers on it straddling the large handle. There two screws for the opening adjustment so it’s not that important to be super tight. The included stop block is chunky but works. I’ll probably make some better ones in the future. Not real fancy but it’s accurate and works really well. I’m very happy with this purchase.
