Anyone have some pictures and/or plans for a fence they like -or links to same?
The table is a small one 18x24.

Don't so much need lessons on theory -
I think I have a good handle on the concepts

• split vs solid
• t-groove vs clamps
• importance of being able to offset the outfeed side
• etc. etc .etc.

Just haven't come up with or seen a design that just jumps out at me.
I'm very visually oriented -- so I get more inspiration actually SEEING something than hearing about it.
Know what I mean?

Any help would be welcome.
If this has already been asked and answered elsewhere -- please forgive the duplication and just give me the link --

And yes -- if I see idea(s) that I like - I will likely steal them.

THANKS as always --

Hi Cowboy

Click on my View Gallery, you will see about 8 diff. kinds, the one I like best is the T & G insert type with the swing away fence...it's quick and the safe way to use the router table...

Hi Cowboy

The easy way is to start with the last page and work your way up to the 1st...

They are all over the place, many snapshots of them

Gary - Thanks
Looks good - and I like inexpensive - that's what I am going for -
I'm missing you how you attach it to the table -- I see grooves on the table -- but nothing on the fence that would tighten down to them -- what am I missing?

Cowboy, since I took this pic awhile ago, I have drilled two holes on each end and added t-tracks to the grooves.

Thanks guys -- being ablet to actually SEE something really helps the way my mind works.

BJ -
I'm intrigued with the idea of pinning one end of the fence and only having to worry about one lock down. Does sound like an easier way to make fine adjustments
Curious on how the details of doing the pinning.
I'm guessing just leaving the 'lock down knob' on that end loose enough to pivot on is not a good idea?I can see where that might tend to let the fence slip.
Also -- as you pivot -- the distance to your t-track on the other end changes --
How do you deal with that? A groove instead of a hole for the lock down on that end?

Mike -
I had seen other plans online showing the fence longer than the table - and locking down by clamping to the table instead of to a t-track.
I like the looks of that -- and I like the ide of having that much more fence to line up my stock on. I know you said you like that fence -- have you found any drawbacks?
