Combination Router-Table Bit Guard and Stops
Oct 25, 2005
I added two 3-in.-wide, 15-in.-long pieces of hardwood to the fence of my router table. Each piece is mitered on the end closest to the bit and attaches to the fence with round-head screws through a long slot. Now what have I got? First, I have a blade guard, which I can adjust to expose the minimum amount of cutting edge. Second, I have a built-in pair of stop blocks that can be quickly adjusted and locked without clamps.
