Squaring Fence
& Table
When using a miter gauge, the fence assembly
must be parallel to the table T-slot for safe and
accurate cutting results. Use a fine ruler to make
the distance equal between the fence assembly
and the T-slot along the full length of the table
(see Figure 34).
Kickback injury may occur if fence is not
parallel with T-slot. When using a miter
gauge with this router table, ALWAYS
make sure fence assembly is parallel with
table T-slot BEFORE beginning routing
operations.

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.
Always feed workpiece against router bit
rotation direction, as illustrated below.
Otherwise, workpiece could be aggressive-
ly pulled from your hands, drawing them
into spinning cutter.
