ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a router table comprising a horizontal platen having a central opening formed therethrough to receive a router bit. A fence is pivotally mounted on the platen to guide movements of a workpiece therealong for engagement with the router bit. The fence is thus adapted to be pivoted to a selected position on the platen. A scale is mounted along one edge of the platen to underlie an end of the fence. The operator can thus visually note the precise distance between the router bit and the fence when the fence is pivoted to a selected position on the platen. The fence and attendant components of this invention can be sold as an adapter kit to modify a conventional router table or work bench for use with the pivoted fence, and/or scale a micro-adjustment mounting block. A method for making a router table or adapting an existing router table to accommodate the pivoted fence is also described herein.
