Recently I purchased the $99 Sommerfeld phenolic router table. I needed a fence for it and was really impressed by the pivoting fence shown in the DVD that came with the table. So I tried to make a shop made version of it:

I was able to use the dowel hole already pre-drilled in the table but I had to drill a hole for a 1/4-20 thread insert to accept the thumb wheel.
I drilled three pivot pin holes to try to keep the fence parallel ti the edge of the table for all bit sizes.
I added a cleat to the back in case I want to clamp it to the TS fence.
I stole the fence idea from Scott Spencer - Craftsman 22124 miter fences.
