Router Tables

Basic Points on Router Tables

Router tables serve as a functional extension of the eminently useful router - by mounting a router upside down on a router table you can:

• use larger router bits for cutting panels, joints, etc (always ensuring that you're using a variable speed router set to lower speeds)



• align your workpiece against the cutting edge of your router bits by using fences, jigs, etc



• create various types of finger joints, mortise and tenon joints, rebates and other designs that require the sort of accuracy and repeatability that you achieve using a router table
