I have a split fence on my router -- no fancy adjustments -- I just use=20

Now if you want to build a real work-horse that is accurate to .001"=20
take a look at this one http://www.patwarner.com/routerfence.html
Pat did an article in FWW a few years back on how to build this (he=20
sells them too) and I built it. Great fence and makes a great=20
complement to the Jessem Rout-R-Lift that I coupled it with. One=20
helluva combination. But as Pat will tell you - a 2 by 4 will work=20
also....

The first thing I do is start looking for a phenolic sheet to make =

Yikes! So I take another look at router plates and find a Jessem=20

Sounds Like the way to go. :-)
