I came across a craigslist posting, googling this image search didn't offer much help. Anyone knows what kind of fence/router table system is this?
Is it worth for $100?

Hello N/Aand welcome to the forums...
We're happy you found us...

I believe it to be an Incra...
I think Stick is right .It looks like a shop built table with the Incra system for slots and fence.

Plus one for Incra. Might be an older model.

Incra for sure and easily worth that and more. I'd snatch it up myself if it was nearby and I already have 2 router tables. Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum.Grab it well worth 100 bucks !!
Welcome to the Forum, by now you've already bought it. I would have. Nice find, and a table too.
I'm not sure if this is a really old Incra or some China-made table and fence system.

Looks like to me the fine adjustment is by a screw and crank at the front of the table, notice the rod running under the table at the round hole that looks like where a router would mount, but I'm also not sure what that is that looks like a router red bit behind the fence in the slot in the table. I also notice that the legs for the table are held together with cross dowels or barrel nuts, not common to USA made tools.

I'd really want to see this in person to see how everything operates.

Is it worth $100, I would say probably.

Mike you are right, it is not quite the same as an Incra. And by golly it does look like it has a router motor and bit behind the fence, didn't notice that before. The old Incras had a center slide mechinisim to adjust the fence in and out, this one has acenter barstock. Maybe the whole thing is shop made, based on existing fence ideas. I did notice the the DC port is behind the fence. This is a real novelty, but might have some good features.

Yes I looked a little closer and I would say it is some kind of specialty table, I'm just not sure for what. I would really like to take a closer look at it. I think I could probably find a way to justify the $100 because even using parts from it for other things would work for me. The fence could be hooked up to one of the original Incra jigs (I have a couple of them in the shop) and make a nice setup.

I wish there were more pictures and a discription from the owner.

I was thinking along the same lines. I think that the fence could be reconfigured to work like a normal table, and maybe make a plate to hold the router motor under the existing large round hole in front of the fence. I am not sure what the crank does, but if it is to move the fence forward and aft, it might have to be lowered enough for the router motor to clear the top of it.

I'm not sure if there is a crank but I'm thinking there may be a crank to move a router toward the front for adjustment. Of course, we are just guessing at this point, it might be some kind of dovetail machine.

I sure hope he buys it and posts some more pictures.
