I’ve seen a bit in magazines lately about router tables with simple one piece / non adjustable fences – i.e a lump of 4x2.
With the ever growing belief amongst some authors that a router table can actually do everything, I’ve a question pertaining to tasks like using a straight bit to machine the side of boards before joining (seeing as you don;t need a hjointer, suposedly a router table will do this just fine):
Q. Without a split fence that is adjustable on the out-feed side how do you not end up with the last part of the cut off square as the nose of the board (the bit that’s been routed) angles back to touch the out feed fence ?
