Simple aluminum extrusion router table fence.

[Mike Schuch]

My father built this many years ago for his router table. It is a very simple but effective design.

The fence consists of an Aluminum extrusion that he cut in half. A piece of angle iron. A sacrificial UHML fence. A couple of toggle clamps for securing the fence to the table top.

The T slots in the aluminum extrusion makes it very quick and easy to adjust the opening on the fence. The toggle clamps make the fence very quick and easy to adjust on the table. He cut off a standard shop vac attachment that he mounted behind the fence for dust collection.

Nicely done. 80-20 has an ebay store where you can buy short lengths of their extrusions.

I like it. I hadnt thought of either the toggles or the UHML. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the compliments!

I thought my father did a pretty nice job on it too... today would have been his birthday. :)

Are you putting it to good use?

Actually the table needs a little work. The PLC for the stepper controlled lift needs to be reprogrammed. I will get to it one of these days. :-)
