When using a miter gauge, it is important to make
sure the fence boards are parallel to the table slot.
This will help ensure that the workpiece does not
bind or kick back during operation. Use a fine ruler
to make the distance equal between the fence
boards and the slot along the full length of the
table (see
Figure 25).
To avoid workpiece kickback or binding
when using a miter gauge with this router
table, ALWAYS make sure fence boards are
parallel with table slot before beginning
router operations.

Edge Jointing
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a
straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the
face of the board. The result is a perfectly flat and
square edge.
Items Needed:
Qty
Straightedge 2' ...................................................1
Shims ..................................................As Needed
To edge joint a workpiece:
1. DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!
2. Secure straight cutting bit into router accord-
ing to manufacturer's instructions.
3. Raise bit just above top of workpiece, then
rotate it by hand until cutting flute is perpen-
dicular to fence boards.
4. Insert shim(s) between outfeed fence board
and fence base. Width of shim(s) should
equal the distance router bit protrudes
beyond fence board. Shim width dictates
amount of material removed with each pass
(see
Figure 26 on Page 20).
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of kickback,
DO NOT take more than
1
⁄
16
" off during any
pass.
