#1 | | Tablesaw Router Fence Name: Ken City: Liberty State: SC County: Anderson Join Date: Nov 2005 Age: 63  12-30-2005, 04:46 PM
A daughter presented me with a Woodpecker QuickLift for use between the rails of my Ridgid TS3650. This created the need for a router fence to attach the the rip fence.
I threw this one together on the fly. It's just a rectangular box with 4 partitions inside, 2 of them being to create the chamber for the dust collection. It attaches to either side of the fence with the T slots on top of the fence. I had the DC fitting at a 45 degree angle, but find it works best straight up. The DC works real good, just a bit of sawdust on the floor under the router. The adjustable fence is from counter top Corian which is very flat and stable. The faces are attached with bolts going into T nuts. The outboard fence can be shimmed for jointing, also
This one is regular Oak ply, the HD didn't have any Baltic Birch. I'll do the next one from that for stability.

Looks great!  Did you paint the Oak ply?

Nice setup Ken. If one didn't know you built it they would think it was purchased. Nice reflection on the quality of your work.

What is your source for the corian on the fence? I'm getting ready to make a new one and that would be a great way to go. | |

Great job Ken.  That is a great design you came up with for your fence and it sounds like you built in a bunch of adjustable features that will come in handy.

Nice job.
I don't believe I've ever seen anything "thrown together on the fly" with that level of craftsmanship. | |

Thanks folks.
I get the Corian from a lady on penturners.org. She sells it occassionally to make pens from. I will contact her and ask if it's o.k. for folks here to contact her. It's $2.50 for each 4" by 14" piece, which is fairly cheap, but it's heavy so the shipping is a bit painful. She somehow managed to cram 10 pieces into a $7.70 USPS Flat Rate mailer. (10 pieces for $32.70 shipping and Corian)
It makes wonderful ZC inserts for tablesaws. Woodcraft gets about $30 for a Corian insert, I believe.
The fence is painted with a Rustoleum gray which closely matches the Ridgid dark gray.
Thanks again for the nice comments.
ken,
crying and still not believing the gamecocks lost that game!!    | |

Nice use of materials and well executed fence. I'd be interested in the corian if it is available at the price you're quoting, especially for zero clearance inserts. And I agree that the 'cocks should have won -- 'tis a pity...

Wow, I'm really impressed with the fence Ken. And you make it sound so easy. 
Sorry 'bout the Gamecocks, but what defensive coordinator wouldn't be expecting a pass from Steve Spurrier with two minutes to go?????
