DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE instructables DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN) by Creativity Hero In this Instructable I’ll show you how I made a table saw fence and a router table fence for my multipurpose workbench. If you want to build this fence yourself you can find a FREE PLAN on my official website. This is very simple design of a fence and also it provides perfect cuts. Here are the materials I used: Plywood 122 x 244 cm, 21 mm thick (your local hardware store) Wood glue http://amzn.to/2fshgMw T-nuts http://amzn.to/2fqvbCS 5 minute epoxy http://amzn.to/2hnjRMa Water-based Polyurethane http://amzn.to/2AwIcnG Walnut wood stain http://amzn.to/2wXruea Nuts and washers http://amzn.to/2hlYzyJ Types of tools I used: Circular saw http://amzn.to/2fRs8nD Jigsaw http://amzn.to/2xH1Lu9 Router http://amzn.to/2xAOiCh Cordless drill http://amzn.to/2frP8MD Forstner bit http://amzn.to/2fr0GQA Random orbit sander http://amzn.to/2fqHQJ3 Sanding block http://amzn.to/2guzmSr U-shape saw http://amzn.to/2hWgzgg Clamps http://amzn.to/2ho27Rb Countersink drill bit http://amzn.to/2yKLRRp DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrjlxMjhiXw&t=290s Step 1: Cutting the Plywood Board to Size and Sanding the Pieces. This fence I made out of plywood board with 21mm Before assembling the fence I’m going to sand the thickness. So, I cut the longer pieces on my table pieces separately with a 180 grit sandpaper. For the saw. Due to the fact that I still don’t have a fence, I larger pieces I used a random orbit sander, but for the used a scrap of plywood and used it as a guide for smaller pieces I used a sanding block. precision. I’m going to make knobs out of the smallest pieces, For the smaller pieces I used a jigsaw. You can find and for that purpose I’m going to round their corners a all the dimensions in the free plan. little to make them handy and much easier to turn. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 2 Step 2: Assembling. Now I can move on to assembling the fence. Then, I pre-drill holes with a countersink drill bit on each side, making them deep enough so that the I’ll start with gluing the three longest boards together screws will be flush with the surface. This is another with a wood glue and some clamps. thing you need to pay special attention to if you want to make accurate cuts with your table saw. Squaring is most important here.So, I recommend working on a flat surface and measuring twice before After that I’m driving 5 cm long screws on each side driving the screws in. and they will hold the pieces tight in place. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 3 Step 3: Attaching the Front and the Back of the Fence. I can now move on to the front and the back of the some weight and wait for it do dry for a while so I can fence. secure it in place. The front piece needs to be perpendicular with the To create the lock mechanism of the fence I turned main body of the fence and 65 mm of it need to go the fence upside down and drilled 2 holes on the below the fence. I drew a line that will help me bottom of the front piece. achieve the right distance. I pre drilled holes and attached it on the fence with 5 cm screws as well. In order to prevent any flexing I need extra support on the back of the fence and one small piece of plywood It was a bit difficult to do, because I don’t have that will provide that support. long clamps. I decided to apply a wood glue, add DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 4 Step 4: Creating the Lock Mechanism of the Fence. These two plywood pieces will be secured together. I need to make two holes all the way through both pieces. This means that I need to work carefully and make them straight. Then I installed the T-nuts. I applied 5-minute epoxy and pulled them into the wood with a clamp. In order to make knobs I drilled holes in the middle of the smallest pieces of plywood where the bolts will be inserted. Step 5: Turning the Table Saw Fence Into a Router Table Fence. This fence can be used both as a table saw fence, and a router table fence. I needed to make a 35 mm hole on one side of the fence before assembling it, but I’m doing it after that with a Forstner bit. All the excess plywood I removed with a coping saw which is awesome for this job. This hole helped me turn this table saw fence into a router table fence as well. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 5 Step 6: Applying a Wood Finish. Now I need to protect the wood with a finish. All the The longest piece of plywood is a guide rail of the pieces that I’m going to cut in the future will slide fence and I’m going to place it under the top of the smoothly on the fence, and the finish will help me workbench. But first, I’ll protect it with walnut stain, achieve that. the same that I used for the workbench. I applied one coat of water-based polyurethane with a I left all the pieces to dry. Once they’re dry I can put rag. It is transparent finish which will provide a everything together. contrast between the workbench and the accessories. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 6 Step 7: Putting All the Pieces Together. I didn’t have 10 cm long bolts, but I had threaded rod, so I made two bolts out it. Then I pulled those DIY bolts into the knobs and used nuts and washers on both sides to tighten them well. After that I inserted the knobs into the holes that I previously made, and finally I insert the last piece on the other side. Now I’m done with the lock mechanism. Step 8: Attaching the Guide Rail of the Fence Below the Workbench. The last thing that I need to attach is the guide rail of the fence. I applied just enough wood glue making sure that I don’t make a mess and clamped it below the top with a bunch of clamps. It needs to be flush with the front of the table. I pre-drilled holes with a countersink bit, and at the end I attached 35 mm screws on a shorter distance because the rail needs to be firm and flush with the front of the workbench.

I plan to build them in my next videos. I’ll give you free plans for them as well. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 8 Excellent Instructable. I am looking forward to your video on how you constructed your workbench. Hi Marija! (From your name and pronunciation I suppose you're also a Slav ;)) I really don't understand this tool. Why have you used a box for guiding wood to the saw? You could easily just make L profile (or even just a straight stick) out of wood and clamp it on a table as a straight guide. Can you provide us with some more info what this tool could be used for? Will you use this tool as a router template (with additional rails) to flatten wood or why is it that shaped? I'm just making my workroom in my basement and i'm interested in such tools. DIY Table Saw Fence & Router Table Fence (+ FREE PLAN): Page 9.

  • MITER SAW SAFETY (Reviewed 9/27/2007)
    MITER SAW SAFETY (Reviewed 9/27/2007) 1. Tool Use and Care • Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against you body is unstable. It allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and loss of control. • Do not force tool. Use correct tool for you application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool for purposes not intended – for example; do not use the miter saw for slicing meat. • Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous. • Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments for changing accessories. Such prevention safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in the same direction. • Inspect guards before using. Keep guards in place. Check moving parts for binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation of safety features of the tool. If damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. • Do not alter or misuse tool.

  • In Ground Removable Safety Fence Installation Instructions
    IN GROUND REMOVABLE SAFETY FENCE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING) THE FOLLOWING TOOLS ARE REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION: Tape measure Utility knife Chalk line Rotary hammer drill Pencil 1/4” Hex head bit Extension cords 5/8” SDS Plus masonry drill bit (If using a safety fence drilling guide, an SDS Plus rotary hammer and a 5/8” X 18” SDS Plus bit must be used) Template (included) Scissors Household glue or pvc cement Shop Vac (for cleaning debris out of drilled holes) 1. Decide where you want your fence. When installing In-ground Removable Safety Fencing take these guidelines into consideration: • The fence must isolate the pool area from all exits of the house. • All sides of the pool area should be enclosed by either the In-Ground Removable Safety Fencing and/or another permanent barrier such as a block wall, house, wrought irons fence, etc. • If safety fence is not being used as a total enclosure, and a tie-in to an existing structure is necessary, that structure must be strong, solid and high enough not to allow a child to get around, through or over the structure. • Do not place fence adjacent to another structure that a child may climb upon. This includes raised seating and decorative boulders. • Fence should be a minimum distance away from the pool edge to allow proper maintenance while fence is in use. 2. Determine your starting point. If the run of the fence is going to be straight it is important to snap a chalk line to ensure that the fence remains in a straight line.

    Fence Alignment Tool for a 4x6 Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw in the Vertical Position, Version 1.0 By R. G. Sparber Protected by Creative Commons.1 What happens if the flank of the blade is not parallel to the fence? The material being cut may be pushed into the fence and bind up or pull away from the fence. Either way, the result will be a cut that curves away from the intended path. It is pleasing to my eye to see my fence parallel to the side of my bandsaw table. But as I got into the task of twisting the blade an additional 4°, I quickly realized it was not worth the trouble. What I needed was to be able to set my fence parallel to the side of the blade. This is not easy for me to do by eye. I came up with a complex set of tools that let me see the flank of the blade and us it to set the fence. Only when I was done did I realize how unnecessary this was.

  • Woodworking Glossary, a Comprehensive List of Woodworking Terms and Their Definitions That Will Help You Understand More About Woodworking
    Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil. Across the Grain When looking at the grain of a piece of wood, if you were to scratch the piece perpendicular to the direction of the grain, this would be an across the grain scratch.

  • Woodworking Glossary
    Woodworking Glossary Abrasives Any substance such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, garnet, emery, flint or similar materials that is used to abrade or sand wood, steel or other materials. Substances such as India, Arkansas, crystolon, silicon carbide and waterstones used to sharpen steel edged tools are included. Alternating Grain Direction The process of gluing-up or laminating wood for project components with alternating pieces having the grain running perpendicular to one another (as opposed to parallel). Usually, this practice is enlisted to provide superior strength in a project that is expected to be under stress. It is also used occasionally for decorative purposes. Bevel An angular edge on a piece of stock, usually running from the top or face surface to the adjacent edge or the opposing (bottom) surface. In most cases, bevels are formed for joinery, but are also occasionally used for decorative purposes. Chamfer A slight angular edge that is formed on a piece of stock for decorative purposes or to eliminate sharp corners. Chamfers are similar to bevels but are less pronounced and do not go all the way from one surface to another. Compound Cutting The act of cutting out a project or project component (usually with a bandsaw) to create a three-dimensional or “sculpted” shape. This is accomplished by cutting one profile, taping scraps back in place, and rotating the workpiece to cut a second profile, usually 90° to the first. Compound Miter A combination miter and bevel cut. Generally a compound miter is used in building shadow box picture frames and similar projects where angled or “deep set” project sides are desired.

  • Bandsawn Curves, Precise and Repeatable Template-Guided Techniques from a Master of the Machine
    Bandsawn Curves, Precise and Repeatable Template-guided techniques from a master of the machine BY BRIAN BOGGS n 35 years working wood I’ve gradually ac- quired many machines, but the bandsaw re- Imains at the heart of my shop, the one machine I couldn’t live without. Bandsaws are irreplaceable for cutting all sorts of curves freehand, of course, and I’ll say a little here about those. But that’s just the beginning. The saw’s greatest potential is re- vealed when you use it for template-guided curve cutting. Set up properly and guided by templates, a bandsaw can deliver repeatable curved cuts in a mind-bending array. With template-guided cuts you don’t have to correct rough bandsawn curves with a router, just sand away tooth scratches. If the techniques I describe here don’t work well on your saw, they will if you tune it up. The best article I have read on bandsaw tune-up is Michael Fortune’s “Five Tips for Better Bandsawing” (FWW #173 or FineWoodworking.com/271). I’d recom- mend reading that (paying particular attention to COPYRIGHT 2018 by The Taunton Press, Inc.
