Router Table Precision Edge Jointer

Thanks for sharing Rudy!

I'm planning on making a jointing router fence as well. Yours looks quite effective.
The one I was going to make had adjustable left and right sides, but I'm beginning to think about doing one like yours.

 

Wow. That IS quick... and easy!
Nice

 

Hey Rudy,

Wondering if you could snap a picture of the Adjustment knob section? Does that bolt get threaded thru the router table? Seems like so as I don't see a clamp on that end.

Thanks a bunch!

 

Nice work! I love this idea.

 

Thanks for the extra detail

Very nice jig!!!

 

This has nowhere near the same level of precision, but I bought a used router table last night. I thought for $75 I was getting just the table, the seller delivered it to my house (score) and when it got here I saw it included the router. I turned it on just to know the router works and nothing more, so I don't know how well this will work, but it has a jointer fence built in (pushed way out here to show it):


I'll try using it, but I normally just use the cut off my dad's table saw, remarkably flat cuts from that thing.

 

Cool! I'm interested in hearing how it performs. What brand/make is it?

 

It's a Craftsman. Certainly not a high end unit, but the base is all metal, the fence is some kind of composite. The person I bought it from bought it used as well, so I don't know how old it is or if they still make it

 

Cool. I've seen ones like it listed locally on LetGo, Craigslist, etc.. Hope that fence works nice for jointing

 

Ha! You should see the...THING...I've been using! It makes yours look like a Rolls Royce by comparison.

(I'm going to build a router table extension on to my table saw to replace the...THING.)

 

I'm interested in seeing the THING

 

Your wish is my command!

I got it with an old Craftsman router that I still use and like quite a bit. Never planned on using the table at all, but I have. It's obviously a bit of a pain to set up, but once it IS set up, it works just fine. Still, a good full sized table with above-plate height adjustment and a proper fence will be worlds better.

 

Looks pretty solid to me! Thanks

 

It's a table-top model. It really is stable when clamped down well, but size and convenience are not it's strong suit. But as I said, it can get the job done just fine.
