Combination Router-Table Bit Guard and Stops
Oct 25, 2005
I added two 3-in.-wide, 15-in.-long pieces of hardwood to the fence of my router table. Each piece is mitered on the end closest to the bit and attaches to the fence with round-head screws through a long slot. Now what have I got? First, I have a blade guard, which I can adjust to expose the minimum amount of cutting edge. Second, I have a built-in pair of stop blocks that can be quickly adjusted and locked without clamps.

Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Double Sided Tape
A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
Veritas Standard Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
