Just Something I made As A Test
So quite a while ago, actually it was almost immediately on receipt of my Incra gear, I realised that the right angle doobie whacky for the router fence was junk. Sometime after that I found the Jessem right angle thingo that fit's onto the Incra fence.

Now this is not a particularly cheap bit of gear, so I had a bit of a crack at replicating, sort of, this style of right angle thingy, and here's my crack at it.

Now one thing is, it's made from mostly scrap things that have become redundant or are scrap material. The blue is an old Kreg fence from a cut of sled, the white stuff is some HD3 cut offs. The only thing I parted money for are the linear bearings and rail.
It cost me a bit over $100 but it works like a champion. With the double bearing there is no discernible movement, and I mean none, this is a solid bit of makupmanship. I will say this is a bit OTT as I would have easily gotten away with 12mm rail as opposed to the 20mm I bought, but you get that.
The following link is where I got the linear bearing stuff from, it's the cheapest I could find. Some other suppliers are eyewateringly expensive.

Anyway, I just though I'd throw this out there so that it may inspire others to have a crack at their own makeupmanhsip.
P.S, And I'll be selling this soon too with all of my router gear.
