The fence base and rail will come from one piece of MDF. Cut this blank to 8-5/8 x 32 in. and drill a 3-in. hole in the center with a jigsaw or hole saw. Rip the blank in half and you’ve got both parts, perfectly matched (Photo 6). You have several options when it comes to the fence of your router table. It is the feature that keeps your workpiece in place when you’re cutting. To control the cut, you press your workpiece against the fence as it advances past the bit.

Practical extras might include a digital readout attachment, remote power switch, and other accessories. Benchtop There are certain cuts that a fence won’t work for. On these occasions, a starter pin is what you use. The plate is generally machined aluminum, but it might also be solid phenolic aluminum. Both materials are sturdy and hard-wearing.

They’re useful for delicate jobs such as edge forming, rabbeting, and grooving.The base plate is what you use to attach your router to the table.

Now you’re more familiar with the types of router tables and their component parts, it’s time for me to give you a step-by-step guide to setting your table up.

Router Table as a Jointer You’ll use the fence as a guide for your router so setting this up correctly is crucial. It doesn’t have to be exactly parallel to anything because the bit is round. The most important thing is to set the fence at a correct distance away from it. Once you’ve done this the bit gets on with the rest. Typically, you can place this type of table in a corner, and it’s easy to carry if you want to take it with you. Foldable designs are also available. Parts of a Router TableCut all the cabinet parts (parts A – G) and band them with hardwood edging (S – W). I used maple. When gluing on the edging, I used masking tape to hold it in place until the glue set, though there were some stubborn spots where I needed the extra force of clamps. The edging has two purposes: It protects the edges of the MDF, which are prone to chipping and denting, and it just plain looks good when the router table is finished. Start with small cuts and get in some practice before moving on to more significant projects.
