It not the router or the fence. Its your method. Sorry, not trying to be offensive here but its understanding how fence and router relationship works. You have an old Black and Decker professional router with a wing nut and a round knob for height adjustment. Mark the height of the board that needs to be cut, adjust router by turning that round knob up or down to the marking on your stock, loosen clamp on fence, move it to the width of the cut by measuring to the very edge of cutter or carbide tip. Test cut a small cut and adjust from there. You will like to be able to do that from below while the work piece os up top for ease of viewing. Its should only take less then 2-3 min. of adjustment to get it dialed in. From there, if you ever need to change setting, make sure you make the table with pencil and return fence to make future exact cuts. 20 seconds to swing fence back and/ or to adjust height. I tell ya, we have a professional woodshop. None of us like those Incra router fence with micro adjustments. if 1/64" is needed to be moved, we tap it with our hand.
