Not me personally, I find microfence too pricey for what they are.

They are expensive. But I can see some great advantages for certain applications like dados and inlays. Being able to adjust a small amount would be great depending on ones work.
I've used the Festool 700 router which has a built-in system like the Micro fence. Ended up with the wrong size bit but since it was smaller I adjusted the knob and made a second pass. Saved a lot of time since I would have needed a new bit or do numerous testing before going back to the project.

I'm all for micro adjust and the like, but even festool's system is more affordable for micro adjustments using the rail or fence

I can recommend the Mafell guidrail for routers (Mafell-No 200690), its also expensive but works perfect and offers a few advantages to normal Guiderails! It also has fine-adjustments included, but you have to check if it fits your routers baseplate... I will post a few pictures or vid of my setup (with the small Mafell lo50e) the next weeks, dont have so much time to spend in the workshop now, very sad... www.mafell.de/fileadmin/media/epaper/katalog_2012_2013_de/page99.htmlEDIT: Wrong Mafell no, right one is 200690, sorry!

Would LOVE video footage of this as well as footage of the Lo50! I understand about shop time though, no pressure.

I know, its one of my "projekts" the next time, as well of some good vids and picturs of the Erica 85 Ec, its a shame one can't find good vids beside the official Mafell videos or some bad-quality ones...

Never used but I can see it being useful in certain situations. Be good to see a short clip of the rail
