Bob's The Router* *Revised Edition and have a couple of questions.
When talking about making patterns he talks about and shows his 'pattern jig'.
Does anyone have or know where I can get plans for making that jig? I haven't been thinking router long enough to improvise. And I get a 'no match' when I search Oak Park.
Since that was revised in 1998, maybe there is a better way to make patterns?
Second question: What is the difference between a dado slot and a rabbet? I know a dado runs across the grain and a groove runs with the grain.... but what about a rabbet?
I'm starting to read the appendix of Bob's projects and jigs book. So expect more questions. <grin>
I made a huge mistake when I bought my router table. I bought one from MLCS. It wasn't the most expensive but is felt right at the time.
Then I got it put together..... too much "clutter". The T Track, the fence with each side being independently adjustable then moving the fence back and forth. And on and on.... I don't feel comfortable working at it with all that "stuff".
I took the fence off but there are still all those tracks which are dust collectors first class.
I've watch Bob and Rick till I know the dialog of each episode available. I love their KISS approach.
So this table will be gone very soon.
Dang, I'm gettin' picky in my old age. <very big grin>
