bit exposure is needed, notch the board out as needed.
Adjusting the Fence Slides
The fence slides can be positioned closer to the router bit to provide better support of the workpiece. To reposition the fence slides, loosen the wing nuts, reposition fence slides closer to the router bit and tighten wing nuts securely. DO NOT let the fence slides touch the router bit. See Figure 28.
Unitized Fence
A unitized fence can be created to make it possible to rout taller workpieces.
The router table is designed to accept a board (unitized fence) of up to 4 inches in height. To make a unitized fence, perform the following:
1.Obtain a straight board up to 4 inches in height.
2.Place the board against the fences and mark the location of the holes in the fences.
3.Drill and countersink the board to accommodate the hardware (not included) to attach the board to the fences.
4.Attach the board securely to the fences (hardware not included).
