ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for enabling the routing of wide grooves and rabbets onto the sides, edges, or ends of boards, using a hand-held router. The apparatus comprises a main body platform with a pair of fence feet mounted on the underside. The fence feet act as guide fences, supporting feet, or both, to guide the router over the workpiece to obtain the desired cut. Calibration reference points on the main body platform and on the fence feet allow the fence feet to be adjusted quickly and accurately for various widths of grooves and rabbets, and for a number of different router bit sizes. The operating height of the main body platform may be adjusted by adding fence feet soles and spacers onto the bottom of the fence feet.
