In the Oak Park videos, it appears that they orient parallel to the sides, pushing the workpiece away from the operator. Does this have any particular advantage over a right to left push? My table has a fence parallel to the front, and I could move it out of the way if necessary, but it's less to do if I orient the jig the same way as the fence.

I realize that it can obviously go either way... I'm just curious if anyone has strong opinions one way or another.

Thanks

I can't quite tell from the photos above, did you drill a new hole for the router bit?

On my table, if I bring the edge forward to the Tslot, the factory hole in the jig comes forward, so a new hole would be necessary.

Also, if I orient it the way you've shown, I might shorten the length of the jig so I don't have to remove the CMT fence from the table.

Hi Alan

Yes I did drill a new hole for the bit,, I use the jig on many other router tables.
You will find out it's best to remove the fence and just to get it out of your way..I didn't want to drill any more holes in my top...that's way you see it in the tee track up front...

I guess you could cut it off but then it will only work on that one table...the longer the better, I wish it was about 10" longer...but it's not.
