The outrigger bars allow for attachment of shop-made outrig-
ger beams on which to mount sidestops or add pencil marks. This
makes for efficient routing of multiple mortises. See Chapter 4,
Production Procedures.

The outrigger beams should be

as suggested to minimize weight. Drill as shown and attach with
the small nuts and bolts provided. The top edge should just clear
the underside of the locked table. Store the outriggers on a wall
hanger when not in use. The deep shoulder
