I have a Ryobi Router Table. I want to get a Freud BS-5 router fence. I can make it fit but has anyone used the Freud Fence?

George,

Did you mean SH-5? If so, be aware that there are two versions, the one that is sold in the US has both infeed and outfeed fences adjustable and the one in Canada has only the outfeed adjustable. With this information you should be able to get more accurate responses.

SH-5 US Version

SH-5 Canada Version

I had one. Didn’t like the design. Due to pressure on the middle no backing on the ends.
( off to eBay)
Best fence for the money is Bench dog and it has awesome joining capability.

Hi George II

I'm not to sure why you would want to buy a fence, you can make one so easy

by using some 3/4" MDF ,out of all the fences I have and have made I like the swing and the T & G insert type fence..

BUT
The side lock type work very well also and can be made quick and easy..many of the router Mfg. companys are now using this type of fence, because you don't need to drill any holes/slots in the top to hold the fence in place...

With $5.oo of MDF stock you can have yours made to fit your router table.

Here's a quick drawing how to make one.. ▼
