Micro-Adjust Router Fence
Upgrade your router table with a compact fence design that’s easy to micro-adjust and includes dust collection.
Here’s how the fence works. Knobs and bolts in the base slide in T-tracks in the router tabletop. To provide fine control for adjustments, the fence face pivots on the outfeed side and is controlled by a studded knob. Altogether, you have about 1" of adjustment. The continuous laminate fence face accommodates most bits. In back, a dust port tames the mess. The fence is mostly made from plywood and the footprint is minimized to work with a small router table. Before you dive into the construction, I want to mention that the dimensions you’ll see are to make this fence fit our Compact Router Table, I hope you can see past those numbers and apply the design to whatever type of router table you have.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
