Abstract:
A router fence assembly, comprising,infeed and outfeed flat plates for positioning on a flat top router table adjacent a router bit opening, each of the plates having a straight elongated operating edge and adjacent parallel diagonal edges extending away from the operating edges at an angle thereto, a connecting mechanism slidably joining the plates at their diagonal edges to permit one plate to be slidably diagonally moved with respect to the other plate, and having a notch positioned adjacent to the router opening, a vertically disposed infeed fence secured to the straight edge of the infeed plate, a vertically disposed outlet fence secured to the straight edge of the outfeed plate, the fences having adjacent spaced inner ends and slots adapted to be located adjacent the router bit opening on a flat top router table, the connecting mechanism being operative to permit the movement of the fences and their inner ends from position of longitudinal alignment to a diagonally and laterally offset parallel position to permit an elongated workpiece slidably moved towards the router bit opening to engage a vertical rotating router bit extending upwardly therethrough to remove a portion of the workpiece equal to the lateral distance that the fences are separated, and a releasable lock element on one of said plates to permit the plates to be releasably locked in position with respect to each other.
