Router Fence

A router table is useful for profiling, rabbeting, dadoing, and a whole variety of other things. I find though that most of my router work has thus far has been on edges (eg. radiusing, rabbeting, etc).

I built a router fence to allow me to make rabbets, to make edge rounding easier.

The base of my router is a slippery plastic (ABS?), that is held on with 4 x M4 screws.

I milled some slots into a piece of 40x40x3 angle aluminium to make a rudimentary adjustable fence.

It makes rabbets like these much easier than having to clamp a temporary fence to the workpiece. And it gives a nice flat finish, unlike rabbets made on the table saw.
