I have a question for my fellow woodworkers out there. I have a TS with
a long table, and a router mounted in the table. When I need to use the
router, I move the fence over, add a sacrificial fence with dust
collection, and run the wood against that when I want to make a
moulding, or cut along the length of the wood.

Is this a common thing? It just seemed obvious to me, but I am seeing
products (like one from Jessem) which are fences specifically for table
mounted routers.


If you had access to the WoodWorks television broadcasts, hosted by David
Marks, you'd see that your setup and his have much in common. My neighbor
has his Unisaw setup in much the same manner, except that the router and
tablesaw have an Incra system in common.

I built my router table prior to purchasing the cabinet saw, or I might
have been tempted to use a setup such as yours.

Of course, Jessum and others are going to offer products to seperate you
from your cash. That's why they're in business. Your choice on taking
them up on their generous offers. ;-)
