Amazon.com Product Description
The Wonder Fence by Incra is a heavy-duty, one-fence solution for all of your router table operations, including raised panels, molding, shaping, jointing, and all other general purpose cuts. The table fence is made of aluminum construction and comes fully assembled. All critical surfaces are machined perfectly flat to insure that both infeed and outfeed fences remain perpendicular and parallel at all offset and gap settings. The offset adjustment wedges have been machined from solid blocks of aluminum to achieve precise offset adjustability. Incra has gone the extra mile with this tool ensuring you won't find a warp, bend, or bow in the Wonder Fence. The table fence includes a hi-rise 4 1/2-inch fence cap for vertical panel raising and tall boards, as well as a laser engraved offset scale. The dust collection port rides to the side of the table, so there is no interference with the movement of the fence. You can then slide the Wonder Fence off to use the Incra TS-III on your table saw. When attached to the Incra Jig Ultra, it also produces perfect Box Joints and Dovetails in all styles and sizes, including the famous Incra Double and Double-Double Box Joints and Dovetails. Alternately, you can mount the Wonder Fence on an Ultra or TSIII positioning unit with the included fence mounting hardware. It also attaches to the Incra TS-III table saw fence, and any other router or shaper table up to 37 inches for all joinery operations and excellent tall board support.

 Great Fence September 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I use my Incra WonderFence with the LS17 positioner. It has been a fantastic product. I have never had a problem with feed pressure. I used three feather boards and routed 1000 lineal feet of 16 foot MDF 1x6 to make my own baseboards. I have used it to make simple bullnose pieces for my door trim as well and recently started using the tongue and groove bits. Setup is quick and easy. It is always repeatable.
My positioner does allow the fence to move slightly in the plane of the table. This is a problem with the positioner not the WonderFence attachment. It does not allow the fence to move in or out, so the cuts are not affected. I would worry about this if I were using it as a rip fence for my tablesaw.
The dust collection port works fine even if you only use a moderately powerful shop vacuum. However, I recommend getting a real dust collection system. Shavings will collect in the right tube of the fence.
Pick the RIGHT tool for the Job June 5, 2007

I agree with Marc Ruby. I also have the Benchdog Pro Fence. It's a great fence but I wouldn't even attempt making double or double double joints with it. The Wonder Fence (combined with a positioner) on the other hand inspires confidence. And, while the installation manuals are not so great, if you get the (latest) Master Reference and templates they walk you through it step by step. If that's too tough get the DVD and they show you how to do it.
You wouldn't use a machete where a scalpel is needed and you certainly wouldn't use a scalpel to try to cut through a jungle. Use the right tool for the job and the results will speak for themselves.
On a final note their customer service is second to none. I had a couple minor issues that they responded to immediately and went above and beyond to help me solve. They did such a great job it compelled me to write this review.
If you are thinking about getting into more intricate woodwork then Incra is the only way to go. I've looked at all the solutions. Theirs is the only one that provides repeatable precision on two axes (three if you throw in their router lift). For me all of this has inspired confidence on so many levels that I feel like I can make just about anything I want.
High Learning Curve - But Worth It September 27, 2004
23 out of 24 found this review helpful
After using the Bench Dog fence for a while, I felt an urge for something with a bit more precision. Not that the Bench Dog was a bad fence, but I'm a sucker for accuracy, and the Incra Jig Ultra combined with the Wonder Fence offer solid, repeatable adjustments. After looking everything over at the store I decided to spend the admittedly steep price of admission.
I'm not sure where the other reviewer's complaint comes from. Out of the box, without the LS extender, the Wonder Fence uses edge clamps, much like the Bench Dog. And it is ever bit as rigid as that fence as well. In the solo configuration the fence offer the kind of micrometer adjustments that one is used to in metal machining hardware. The two sides of the split fence can be adjusted independently, (depth and gap) which turns the average router table into a jointing and shaping station as well. The hi-rise fence cap works perfectly for panel raising and vertical milling as well.
The real power of this fence becomes apparent when it is used with the Incra Jig Ultra with the LS-positioner. Now you can move the fence in 1/32" increments with 1000th of inch adjustments. This is a spooky level of accuracy in woodwork.
The biggest drawback is the learning curve. Once you want the Incra set up to do more than be a simple fence, you have to learn how to use it, and everywhere you turn there are things to turn. Incra may have a talent for high-end accuracy, but as manual writers they are only so-so. Expect to put in some learning and experiment time. Then expect to go crazy making exotic joints.

 Flimsy, won't hold up to feed pressure. March 10, 2004
8 out of 23 found this review helpful
I returned this fence. Using the words "Heavy Duty" in the description by Incra?... must be a joke. I would give it zero stars and a Mr. Yuck if that were an option. I am a box maker, using fairly small stock, even so, I found this fence to be very inadequate in it's ability to stay in place ("flat, square, and on 1 plane) when feeding stock against the cutter. This is a serious issue, considering Incra touts the extreme accuracy and incremental measuring capability of this fence to the finest degree.(All of which becomes totally useless if the thing won't stay flat or square under pressure.) You can put a 64th incremental measuring tape sticker on anything...doesn't mean it'll be accurate.
If you need very accurate surfaces, don't waste your time on this fence. If you don't need extreme accuracy, use a jointed 2 x 6 (which , by the way, I have had better results with, than the Incra.) #-(Ps: I purchased this and returned it the same week in 2002. Perhaps it has been improved since then. Looks the same to me though.
