Freud SH-5 Professional Micro-Adjustable Router Table Fence
2005-11-28
I received my Freud router fence this week and installed it on my router table.(old cast iron table saw top, that I had milled out to accept the rosseau router insert) I had to use the included extensions to fasten the fence to the cast iron top.
It was a simple matter to drill and tap 2 holes in the top, and presto the fence bolted right on. The only thing left to do is buy an adapter 2 1/2" to 4" for my dust collector. I tried the fence out and it works great and was very easy to assemble. Everything seems to be quality workmanship and materials. I will probably buy a couple more of these for my other router tables.
Great Fence

I just purchased and received this fence albeit without the 4 threaded inserts which should have been included. I did call customer service at Freud who promised to mail them out to me that day. In the meantime, I was able to pick up a few in the Rockler Store and mounted the new fence easily. Although the one page of instructions are minimal, I found them precise and to the point. No need for a manual with pictures or 100 plus pages. I experienced no problems setting up and using the fence with the included ALEPSH-5 Adaptor Plate, required for my 9 X 13" router insert. I replaced the standard wing nuts with star knobs and zeroing the precision controls was a breeze. I did not experience any flexing using the standard auxillary fences, however I do plan to replace the faces with 3/4" molecular slick plastic material to further reduce friction. The vacuum port accepted the 2-1/2" hose from my Shopsmith Dust Collector without adapters and coupled with the vacuum port on the router itself, my work was almost dust free (which pleases the miss'es). I'm so thoroughly pleased with this Freud system and I highly recommend it to anyone requiring a precision fence at a bargain price to boot!
Freud can learn a thing or two from Ryobi

I purchased the table, stand, and router as a package. My only complaint is with Freud's assembly and router instructions.The router manual is minimal.I have extra bolts and lockwashers and no idea where they go. The chip deflection chute took me 20 minutes to install. There's no room available to fit the tiny screw. The height adjustment "racks" to one side and is very stiff.When I lifted the rubber boots to inspect the rods I found many metal shavings/turnings left over from the machining process. A nice Router and table package but I like my less expensive 2HP Ryboi, with it's easy to read manual, more.
Awesome Value!!

This thing is built like a freight train and is incredibly accurate and repeatable. As mentioned in the previous review, it now includes adapters for use with wide insert plates. The first thing to do after mounting it is replace the MDF fence faces with hardwood ones and make several pairs so you can make them zero clearance.
good review included aleph adaptor

Looks like Freud took everyone's comments to heart as this included the adaptor. To be honest I haven't had much time to do much more than bolt this to my router table but the construction looks good and it did a pretty good job of sawdust removal when I did get a chance to do some routing.
