When jointing, it’s always best to make light passes so you’ll probably use
the 1/32-in. offset more frequently. Any straight bit can be used for jointing,
but a fl ush trim bit is the easiest to set up. Since the bearing is the same
diameter as the cutter, you can directly align the fence with the bearing.
Use a scrap piece of wood to test the fence position. If, as you feed
the material, it butts into the out-feed fence, the fence is too far forward
and you’re not removing enough material. Move the fence back a little.
(Guard removed for photo clarity.)
If you get a snipe at the trailing edge of the cut, the fence is too far back,
and you’re removing too much material.
The Kreg Precision Router Table Fence features fully independent fence
faces which allow the fence to double as a vertical jointer. To set up the
jointer, begin by loosening the out-feed face -- being careful not to go to
far and disconnect the screw from the Jam Nut -- and removing the two
Jointing Rods (#15) which are stored in the back of the fence, as shown.
There are two sets of shallow recesses behind the face, which allows you to
offset the out-feed fence face 1/16” or 1/32” from the in-feed fence face. To
position the fence at the 1/16” setting, slide the rods into the corresponding
shallower recesses, as shown in the left photo. To position the fence at
the 1/32” setting, slide the rods into the corresponding deeper recesses,
as shown in the right photo. When the rods are inserted, and you have the
correct depth setting, re-tighten the fence face to the fence.
To position your fence for use with a common edge (bearing) bit, start
by loosening the individual fence faces and positioning them as close as
possible to the cutter, without making contact with the bit. Rotate the bit with
your hand and make sure that the fence faces do not make contact. Once
the faces are correctly positioned, bridge the gap between the two with
a straight edge, and position it so the straight edge contacts the bit’s ball
bearing and both fence faces simultaneously, as shown.
To position your fence for use with common non-edge (bearing-less) bits,
start by loosening the individual fence faces and positioning them as close
as possible to the cutter without making contact with the bit, just as you
would with a common edge bit. Rotate the bit with your hand and make
sure the fence faces do not make contact. Once the faces are correctly
positioned, bridge the gap between the two with a straight edge, and position
it so the straight edge contacts the bit and both fence faces simultaneously,
just as you would with a bearing bit. Once the fence is positioned correctly,
release the tape slider and adjust it so that it reads “0” on the Precision Lens
Cursor. Tighten the tape into place and adjust the fence away from the blade
until your desired cutting depth is displayed on the Precision Lens Cursor.
