That is one cool fence. I built one myself and later added track to my table so it can slide up to the bit. For years I had just some slots in the table for it to slide in. Here is the one I use all the time. I even adapted my dust collector hose to the back of it. I can also slip shims into the outfeed side for jointing because this is a three piece fence.

Big Guy

hi all

i bought some red oak to build a fence for my router table. after reading some of the comments on the forum it seem mdf or melamine is a better pick for the front of the fence. my question is , is red oak smooth enough for this.

Hey, Big Guy. You can use just about anything for a fence. Some have used a 2x4 clamped to the table. The reason most use MDF, melamine or plywood is that they are reasonably flat (square) and ridgid and will not warp like a chunk of solid wood. The main things are, it needs to be square to the table and not flex. If the oak isn't smooth enough for you just face it with some formica or even a good coat of wax will help.
