First thanks for all the great info here in the site. Finally got a full size router and now I'm going to build a table.
I see some people use an adjustable fence to move based on bit size. Is this just to give the piece as much support around the bit? I know on my saws I've made zero clearance inserts but didn't think this would apply to a router.
I got some acrylic to make an insert, but realized I'm not sure how to cut/drill the large hole for the bit. I don't have forstner bits and didn't think my spade bits would work. Hole saw? Start with a regular drill bit and then use the router to make the hole larger? Thought a flush trim bit might work with the routers base as a template?
Also got some t track for the fence. With two rails, does the fence usually stay square, or does one side get further forward/back? Need to check before routing?
Thanks again for all the help and inspiration!
