I built a fairly heavy duty fence that clamps to the table and did not require slots that can fill up with debris. The front of the fence has a fixed upper section made of particle board coated with laminate and the lower section is adjustable and can be opened or closed around the router bit to control dust buildup and keep the fence from being damaged by the cutting edge of the bit. The fence also has a T-track for attaching a feather board to keep the stock in place. And I added a combination T-Track and miter slot. The miter gauge shown is off of my table saw. I may eventually build a coping sled which is a much more secure way to move some stock through the cutting bit. Also need to add a vacuum port behind the fence and under the table to collect dust. Maybe next week!
