So all this leaves us with two sorts of fence. Make yourself an
L-girder of MDF and hinge one end. That's a simple and easy to build
fence that has good adjustabilty within its precision, and can have
plenty of rigidity. If you want more precision, add a horizontal
adjusting screw and even a dial gauge, so that you can adjust a small
range without slackening the main clamp.

Andy, as always a fine post.

I would add one comment about the swing type of fence. If the router
bit is positioned half-way between the pivot point and the measure
point then you get a 2X gain in measurement resolution. If you swing
the fence 1/32 of an inch at the measurement point it adjusts the
depth of the cut 1/64. This is the poor man's micro adjustment.
