A few years ago I built Norm’s router table and mounted a 3.25 hp Hitachi plunge router under it. It’s been a great table, but after installing an Incra TS on my table saw last week, then watching the DVD that came with the Incra, I’m pining for the Incra Wonder Fence router table set up. I have been using an older Porter Cable 24” dovetail jig. While I’m certain that folks with more patience than I, and more skill using the PC than I can do wonderful things with it, I find it aggravating and very time consuming to set it up for dovetails. So much so, I find myself avoiding dovetails and using other joinery methods. After watching the DVD and seeing how simple set up and cutting some very cool looking dovetails with the Incra, plus the precision the T-fence offers, I think I’ve convinced myself I really need this set up…….
So now I’m almost ready to click the buy button on the Wonder fence set up and Incra Lift. I’m pretty sure I can build a new top and mount it to Norm’s base and modify it to incorporate the dust collection into the top and Wonder fence.
Before I make this move, I figured it would be a good idea to get some user feedback first.
Does anyone using this system have any regrets or words of wisdom?
