Good low-cost router table fence?

[Larrysch]

I think the home made fences are just fine and really cost effective. This is mine - Very simple and if I destroy something on it - I can rebuild it as very little to no cost.

Early on I wasted money on a really nice router table that I rarely use except to gather junk. If I have a big project I'll make use of it, but simpler is usually better.

Most often I use a spare accessory table I bought for my 21829. I use the brackets from the Ryobi two piece fence, but mount them to a piece of ply or mdf. I attach to the rip fence and I have a sacrificial fence.

If I didn't have those brackets already, I'd probably go with the slotted 2by method shown.

I ran that either with just a shop vac and the floor sweep or with the HF DC using the shiop vac hose to a 4" adaptor on one inlet and the 4" hose wedged in between the M12V and the BT case to catch chips going down through the router table.

Same setup on the DC side as this, just move the hoses over.
