I'm building a router table based on the Pat Warner's design as shown in his "The Router Table CD." I'll have the same type of mortice and tenons to attach the rails to the legs and use the same technique (MDF lifts as in the pictures). My concern is that 4 of the mortices that are on the face of the legs (2 for the top rails and 2 for the bottom rails) are away from the fence, while the other 4 are on the edge. The ones on the edge are ok. It's the ones on the face that is my concern. They will be 1-3/8" away from the fence. The ones closest to the fence are only 1/2" away. Is it safe to cut the ones on the face away from the fence a safe thing to do? I've read about not trapping the work between the fence and the cutter but I'm not sure if it applies only to cutting on the edge of the piece but also to slots. I have his acrylic morticer which I could make the face mortices without a problem.
Thanks for the advice.
