| Adam | February 10th, 2005 12:39 AM One of the first reasons router owners think about router tables is the cutting of narrow sections of end grain. On something big, like a table top project, the routed object can be clamped and the router is not very likely to deflect off of the "tricky" end grain of a large board. Routing a rail involves the controlled cutting of the end grain of a piece only an inch wide. Don't try this free hand. With a router table the bit is held stationary, with the wood being moved by. Get a router table with a slot for a mitergage and you have the means to make a controlled endgrain cut. If you back the exit edge of your workpiece with a piece of scrap wood you wont have to worry about end grain tearout. |
| bladeburner | February 10th, 2005 05:11 PM Instead of buying either an expensive or cheap router table; build one. Not difficult at all. Route grooves for you miter gage, clamp a fence down. After you build your first from a piece of say; 24" X 24" 3/4 plywood, you'll have many personal improvements in mind for your next. If I could attach a jpeg to this I would show you mine I made in 1981 for about $10, to get you started. Joe |
