I'm shopping for router tables, and I am a little confused. Does a normal router table fence require manually setting square with the miter slot?
I can't stand the idea of having to loosen two clamps, hand nudge and measure, then square the fence every time I make a new cut.
Router fences that I've looked at that make sense to me are the incra, jointech, and kreg.
The jointech and incra are basically the same thing, with incramental micro adjustment, and the Kreg is self squaring with micro adjustment. Are there others I should be looking at?
It's just important I have a self squaring fence, and an accurate easy to read and adjust rule.
Another thing on my mind, is setting myself up with a system for making dovetails. What is the best, fastest method for making dovetails. Is a router table the go for this? Has anyone used the incra for dovetails, is it fast and easy?
Thanks
