Hi. I am about to build a new router table fence and I'd like to include to bells and whistles that I've seen on some of the manufactured ones...namely a t-slot riding fence and another t-slot on the face to allow for featherboard/stop-block attachments. Here are my questions:
1) As a general rule, how far up on the face of the fence do you place the groove for stop-block/featherboard attachments?
2) On the router table top, how far in do you stop the t-slot for adjusting the fence.
My thoughts were to make the fence 6" high and place the slot 4" up. (I may also add a second vertical to allow the face to have a variable open/close slot depending on the size of the bit I am using.)
To adjust/move the fence, my thought was to place the 2-t-slots starting from the back of the table to the center of the table where the hole for the router would go.
Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks!
