Router Side Fences

[Arthur 51]

Hi all. I recently bought a Ryobi ERT-2100 (rubbish!) I only bought it because it came with a double sided fence with fine adjustment. However, I noticed last night that the double fence has 2 sets of holes through which the bars slide. |-------------------------------110mm----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------85mm-------------------------------| eg. +

+

• + The centre measurements of the bar guide holes seem to be 85mm and

110mm. The Ryobi router base has only 1 set of holes to suit the 110mm centres. So I'm wondering if all routers have standardised guide bar centre widths. So whatever your router make, the hole centres are either 85mm or 100mm. Is this correct?

Another reason I'm asking this is because the double side fence supplied with this ERT2100 doesn't seem to be a native Ryobi accessory.

Thanks.

I've got a CMT 1850 (which is a clone of the same model DeWalt, both based on the old Elu 177 - probably the "standard" full-size router) and the fence bars are spaced at 100m centre to centre.

I've two B & Q cheapies and they both have 85mm centres. I can't really fault these and it would be interesting to use an expensive machine to see what is so much better about them.
