USING ROUTER TABLE AS JOINTER (FULL EDGE
CUTTING)
For maximum
strength and accuracy,
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,
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
