Operational Tips

File Sharp Edges
Some table saws have a bevel on the leading
edge. You can file your router table to match,
if so desired. Fig. 11.
Dust Collection
The integral dust collection port is designed to
accept a standard 2 ⁄ " fitting, typical on most shop
1
2
vacs. Most of these fittings actually measure 2
(outside diameter). Bench Dog recommends 2
hose, or larger, because it is more effective at
evacuating dust and chips, and provides proper
air flow over the router motor. Fig. 12. Any hose
larger or smaller than 2 ⁄ " requires an adapter you
1
2
must provide. If additional dust collection is
needed, a dust port can be added to your cabinet
or motor area.
DO NOT USE YOUR ROUTER TABLE
WITHOUT DUST COLLECTION!
Using Your Miter Gauge
The miter track has two slots: an accessory T-slot
and a T-bar compatible miter gauge slot. Fig. 13.
The accessory T-slot is the narrower of the two. It
accepts 1/4" hex bolts for attaching Feather-Loc
featherboards. The miter gauge slot is used in
conjunction with a miter gauge, and fits standard
3/8" x 3/4" miter bars (with or without the T-bar).
The miter gauge is not included.
To adjust fence perpendicular to miter gauge, set
miter gauge to 90º, and place in slot. Loosen the
fence's T-knobs and align the miter gauge to fence
using a square, as shown in Fig. 14.
