The more I contemplate this question the more I confuse myself, which is not hard at my stage in life :confused:

I searched the archives and did not really see an answer to my delima that satisfied my confusion, so I thought I'd throw this out and attempt to have it claified.

When setting up the fence on my table, how do I know for sure that both the outfeed and the infeed ends are in exact (straight line) alignment with the bit? Is this something you measure at each end of the fence to the front side of the table or is there a more scientific method to assure it is exactally perpendicular to the bit at both ends of the fence? The inexpensive table I have has ruler markings, but I do not trust them in all cases.

I know this is another dumb and elimentary question, but I hope it will help others as well as myself.

Many Thanks to you fellas for your patience in helping us Newbies.

Ed,

Again you have kicked my brain into gear. I guess it never dawned on me that the fence is in straight line no matter what the angle... duh

Yes, I have a one piece fence on my current factory built table and plan to build my next table myself. I am just trying to get some of these things straight in my mind before proceeding to deeper waters.

You have been so helpful more than once with my novice questions.

Many Thanks....

Mike,

Good thoughts passed along by you here. I do plan on building a router table a some point in the near future, and from what I am learning from the good people here will aid in my planning of this project.

Many Thanks for the input.

Bob
