Router Table Setup Guide

Router Table Benefits

Router tables increase control and precision. Both hands free for workpiece manipulation. Fence systems guide consistent cuts. Safer than handheld routing for many operations.

Table Selection

Standalone tables offer more features. Bench-top versions save space. Extension wing tables integrate with table saws. Consider your shop layout and space.

Fence Setup

Straight fence essential for most operations. Split fences accommodate different bit sizes. Featherboards improve safety and consistency. T-track allows accessory flexibility.

Router Mounting

Fixed base routers mount easily. Above-table adjustment adds convenience. Dust collection ports reduce cleanup. Plate leveling ensures flat surfaces.
