Cut the pinch block long enough to be flush with the table's outside edge on one end, and close to the base on the other end. Tighten them, and it will clamp into place. Loosen the knobs, and the fence will slide back and forth. One mistake I made here - I drilled the hole too close to the fence, and had to carve out some space in the back to allow the knob to turn freely.Ī wing knob, 2.5" 5/16 carriage bolt, and a pinch block serve as the holding mechanism for the fence. A 5/16 hole is drilled on the outside ends of these outer pieces (drill a slot on one end to allow the fence to move freely), positioned over the slots you just cut in the table top. The bottom layer is wider (4"?), to provide extra stability and a place to tighten the fence down. The bottom layers are 23" lengths of plywood, positioned to leave a 2" gap centered on the router bit, to allow the fence to come up and surround a bit for profile work.Īll the layers but the top and bottom are 2" wide - as previously mentioned, the top layer is smaller to allow the T-track to sit flush with the edge. The top two layers are 48" long strips of plywood - the top layer is 1/2" thinner than the next one down, to leave space for the T-track. Hope this makes sense! The fence is built up of several layers of plywood. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of building the fence, so I'll have to describe it to you.
