Abstract:
A fence assembly for use with a router table, with the fence assembly including a first lower rail, a second lower rail and an upper rail. The first lower rail is configured and arranged to be positioned above the router table, where the first lower rail defines a lower longitudinal axis along the length thereof. The second lower rail is configured and arranged to be positioned above the router table along the lower longitudinal axis. The upper rail is configured and arranged to be attached to the router table above both the first lower rail and the second lower rail, whereby the upper rail defines an upper longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the lower longitudinal axis. One important feature of the present invention is that at least one of the first lower rail and the second lower rail is configured and arranged to be moved between a normal position, in which the front sides of said first and second lower rails are substantially flush with each other, and a shifted position, in which the front side of the first and second lower rails are slightly offset from each other. Such a shifted position allows the router to be used as an edge jointer.
