You can make a quick jig the fits the top of the router table, and has a stop block...and you just slide it on the table top..

Looks like a " H " frame jig that runs on the out side of the router table to keep the lap joint clean and true.

Looks something like the jig below, plus you will see a great bit to use for this type of job, removes most of the lap in one pass...

Thanks for any suggestions
