    Further improving router fence?

    Simply put, I am looking for ideas on how to further improve the router fence on the BT3K accessory kit. I replaced the faces on mine with MDF blocks and included T track, but I am not happy with having to VERY painstakingly set equal depth etc... on my router fence each time I set it up...

    I'd like to see folks improved setups based on the BT3KIT. Any takers?

    Loose the stock mounting brackets, they're about the worst of the BT accessories.

    I did a simple fence out of MDF right after I got my 21829. I tried the stock router fence a couple times and it was terrible to use. It is a fixed design (no moveable faces) that used to just clamp to my tablesaw fence. Variations of it have shown up in about all of the woodworking mags. I have since procured another BT fence that the router fence is permanently attached to. I need to get around to adding some movable faces someday. I'll see if I have any photos around here.

      Here's a couple cropped shots of the fence. Glad my camera was fairly high resolution.
