"When router work needs to be incredibly precise, such as routing grooves for inlay work...the Micro Fence's super-fine adjustment offers pinpoint accuracy."

Router News Section
"Eastward Bound", The Router Magazine - Feb / Mar 2003 #49 (page 4)
London, England
"There's good news for cabinetmakers and other serious router users- after 10 years of distribution in the US, Brimarc International is pleased to announce the arrival in the UK of the Micrometer Edge-Guide System range, which includes the ingenious Micro Fence. Although the whole system is fairly expensive, the results achievable with products such as the Micro Fence are quite literally second to none."

Paul Richardson, Editor
Furniture and Cabinet Magazine
London, England

"No re-invention of the wheel, just a masterly revision of the router side fence. Suddenly, working from an edge makes sense. Where I would normally make up a template or jig, using this fence gives an entirely controllable, repeatable result. The virtue of this device lies in its impeccable engineering, lending a precision which makes it more of a jig than a fence. It is one of the most sensible 'gadgets' I have come across for a long time, offering real benefits in increased quality and productivity for router-users - and that's most of us."

Sandor Nagyszalanczy
Former Senior Editor, Fine Woodworking
Furniture Designer and Author

"The Micro Fence is so precise and quick to adjust that it makes it effortless to perform any fence-guided routing operation with 'tack-sharp' accuracy. It's as useful as it is beautiful."

Rosario Capotosto
Contributing Editor, Popular Mechanics

"It looks and feels like the precision instrument it is. It's designer, a well qualified woodworker, set out to achieve an adjustable edge-guide that was quicker and easier to use. His product nicely satisfies these requirements."
