The INCRA router fences can, in principle, be mounted on any router table, including custom-built ones, but there is no question that a quality router table will enable you to achieve better results. The high precision of the INCRA router fences highlights weaknesses in other components, which might not have been noticed with a less precise fence, such as an insert plate that has play in the table’s recess or reducing rings that do not fit perfectly.

There are various opinions about what material router tables should be made from, whether MDF, plastic, aluminum, or cast iron. However, more important than the material is the question of how the router table and mounting plate are manufactured.

INCRA router tables are made from a particularly flat MDF core, coated on both sides with plastic. The application of the plastic is done under high heat and pressure to achieve the highest stability and durability. The computer-controlled milled recess has 10 flat-head screws that form a solid steel base for the mounting plate. The mounting plate itself can be conveniently adjusted from above using 10 hex socket screws. An aluminum T-slot track is installed in front of the mounting plate to accommodate miter gauges and crosscut fences, such as the INCRA V27 or 1000.

The mounting plate is the most important single component of any precise router fence. These 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) thick „MagnaLOCK” aluminum mounting plates fit any INCRA router table and are pre-drilled for a range of routers. If your router is not listed among the offered pre-drilled mounting plates, you can take the undrilled one and drill the appropriate holes yourself. The steel reducing rings rest on 4 strong magnets, perfectly flush with the surface of the mounting plate, allowing for a quick change in seconds. Each mounting plate comes with 3 laser-cut reducing rings with openings of 1" (25.4 mm), 2-1/8" (54 mm), and 3-5/8" (92 mm). The mounting plate itself is held in place with an eccentric screw in one corner—1/4 turn of the screw is sufficient.
