Can be made to fit almost any existing router table. Open up the



possibilities for new router profiles!

Very cool and well thought out fence you got there Brian..... If that



thing was aluminum...... you might be the next competitor with Incra!







+1. I could see it selling very well.











Sorry, but I don't. I would think a tilting router base would work



better. The gap at the bottom shows no support and that is a minus.







How about a small chamfer on the back to lower the fence front when it's



angled?



It's for a router. How thin would the work be to be able to use a router?







It's not the fence, its the workpiece. It is off the table where it is



being cut. , I would rather have the piece sitting on the table.





Not sure why the split fence opening is bothering you, but if it makes you uncomfortable then use a solid one piece fence w/ an opening in the middle for the bit.





Brian, the split fence is not what is bothering me, its the edge that

you are cutting that is off the table.


Why is this a problem? Determining the depth is a non-issue.







Secondly, with it off, I could not put a zero clearance insert in there.



While not necessary, it's more controllable. I realize a CNC router



doesn't have zero clearance. But there are definitely times you need it.







Brian's works, and works well, but it is a little bit of a compromise



for this reason. In his example it makes it difficult to determine depth



and height.



Not at all. It's quite easy to determine the height. Line up your lumber in front of the bit against the table. You can see the profile that will be cut into the wood perfectly, height and depth.



If the piece lies flat on the table you know the depth and



height.





There is a price reduction in the plans. $9.95



Cheers!













Sorry Brian, I didn't mean to rain on your parade. But support is



everything, so is contact, its good, but not great.







I have seen tilting router supports for sale, and a nice home made from



Matthias. I would not use the gear that he used, but I might use the



screw drive that he had, just coupled differently.
