Ron,

Did you take the pictures before you used it? (I can't see a router bit hole
in the fence yet) . It looks too new yet, but very nice.

I made a similar fence for the router in my saw table, but I split the face
layer of the fence (below the T track) and made insert pieces to fit in it
so that I could make zero clearance inserts for each bit style, and this has
worked out real well for me. I cut rabbets in the two ends of the facing
(back side) and did the same with the insert (front side) so the joints are
half laps. The insert is held in place by the rabbets on the 2 halves of the
fence facing when their mounting bolts are tightened. I slotted the bolt
holes in the rear fence so these face pieces can slide apart to take the
insert and be tightened in any position.

I finally gave up on finding a place for a full-sized router table in the
shop, and built it into my table saw. I already had the Rousseau insert
so
building the table extension-extension took about an afternoon. Underbase
is 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood with a Oak frame and hardboard top. Two
bolts
through each of the saw fence rails and the RH cast extension.

I took a little more time with the fence with the thought of moving it to
a
'proper' router table at some point. Again the frame structure is Baltic
Birch ply with MDF face pieces. I set it up so it could be clamped to the
table saw fence; or rotated and clamped to the outboard end of the table.
The second arrangement allows me to use an extension on the table saw
miter
gage (or a sled), if needed. The fence can then be drilled or slotted to
install to the 'proper' table.

With the exception of the insert, dust collection fitting and a few pieces
of hardware most of the materials came from stuff laying around the shop.
I
was surprised at the effectiveness of the shop vacuum dust collection.
After running a few test pieces I had minimal waste that got through to
the
floor and very little on the table top.
