It would help if you told us what brand of table and router you have. They are not that difficult to set up. Have you inquired to see about getting the manual for it?

its a craftsman digital plunge router. the table is going to be built by me. i understand the basic concept of it all but am unsure of how to secure the fence.

thanks for the links. i guess my biggest question is, do i make the fence stationary or adjustable?

if stationary, how far/close to the router bit should it be?

It should be adjustable since you will need to change the distance from the fence to the router bit depending on what it is you are doing (e.g. round-over vs straight-cut, etc.).
