I had absolutely no problems fitting the fence to the router, as received, right out of the box. The quality is as expected from Freud, excellent. I purchased the Freud Router Fence for my Freud router. The fit and function were perfect right out of the box. I would recommend both the Freud 3 1/4 hp plunge router and the fence to any serious wood worker.[.]. The micro adjust works great and I have had a ball making 3/4 inch fluted columns on a 4 x 4 post, which will eventually become the post that holds our mail box.

Although the finish appeared fair, the fence would not seat in the slot, it was riding on top of the slot. I purchased a FT2000E a couple of months ago, and recently bought the FT2010 Edge Guide attachment. If I had bought it locally I would have taken it back to the store but it would have been more trouble than it was worth to send it back to Amazon. While it works well enough now, the defect does indicate poor quality control by Freud. BEWARE. The fence is stamped steel, and does not contain the black attachment on the fence shown in the picture. I ground down the edges of the fence until it fit and slid easily in the guide slot.

This was due to the fact that the fence is stamped steel, not cast aluminum or something similar. Added 5 days later: The fence is suprisingly tight after I filed it down. By the way, the router itself is great. Having recently purchased a FT2000, I bought the Edge Guide attachment as well, Out of the box, the finish appeared good, but when I tried to actually run the adjustment nut in or out, I realized something was wrong with the fence, it WASN'T seated in the slot, it was riding on top of the slot. After an hour with a file, I ground down the edges of the fence where they fit tightly into the slot in the guide it was designed for. I approached a piece of hickory today with the router/fence combination, and to my suprise, it held up to the task, but I'll still buy a micro fence within a week. While it works well enough now, I'll be buying a Micro Fence soon.
