intended to provide a way of retracting and

router bit for making adjustments. Work-
piece to be routed could be substituted for
the scrap board for making adjustments.
USING ROUTER TABLE AS JOINTER (FULL EDGE
CUTTING)
For maximum strength and accuracy, boards to be
jointed together should be smooth and true. The edges
should be true to the workpiece surface. You can true
the edges on your router table using a straight bit.
1. Check to see if face of jointing fence is flush with
the face of unitized fence. If not, loosen small knob
on jointing fence and push jointing fence inside the
cavity in unitized fence. Tighten knob on jointing
fence.
NOTE: The jointing fence provides a continuous
support for the workpiece, as it is fed
beyond the router bit. It compensates for
the gap created by the removal of mate-
rial by the router bit.
2. Adjust depth of cut (material you want to remove)
and router bit height as described before for Fig.
#18. Tightly secure the fence and the router as
6. The router table is now ready for use.
NOTE: For best jointing results, take very shallow
cuts - 1/32" or less.
USING ROUTER TABLE FOR EDGE CUTTING WITH
NON-PILOTED BITS
1. Position the jointing fence such that its face is flush
with the face of unitized fence. Tighten small knob
on jointing fence. See Fig. #21.
