I'm in the process of designing a new workbench with a built in router table. I like to have the components before I start the build process to make sure measurements are exact. In this case I wanted to make sure the spacing of the T Tracks will work with the fence.

I did debate buy vs. build. There are a few reasons I bought:

  1. Price! Once again, I didn't pay full price. This fence was on sale at Rockler for $199.

  2. Accuracy The precision accuracy of the fence is just not something I can match.

  3. Features There are some pretty cool features on this fence.

Other than the fact that this fence is rock solid, here us what I like about it.

  1. Hex driver storage - no digging around drawers looking for the driver

  2. Adjustment knobs are above the fence - no rubbing knuckles raw adjusting from behind the fence

  3. Micro-adjustments - ability to adjust the fence up to 1/2" without having to move the fence

  4. Outfeed fence can be adjusted to work as a jointer fence using the metal rods

  5. Size - I love the 2 and a half feet of fence!

Overview

Details

Here are some key specs that you might be interested in:

  1. T Track spacing needs to be between 25.25" and 29.75"

  2. Minimum storage space needs: 32.25" x 5.75" x 3"

  3. Fully assembled storage space needs: 33.75" x 7.5" x 4.5"

  4. Multiple track options with 2 T Track attachment heights and bolts to attach to a Rockler router table

  5. 2.5" Quick Connect Dust Right attaches easily to the dust port (bought separately)

I'd say that this seems like a good purchase for the price (I did get it on sale). The Dust Right Quick Connect was also a clutch purchase. Check out the video review...
