    Upgraded Router Table fence on Hammer K3

    The Hammer K3 slider ...




    Two years ago I completed a new router table and fence in the outfeed of this saw ...




    For a while I've been meaning to change the way the fence is adjusted. Here it is running on a track, and the tall knobs clamp it down. But the downside of this system is that there is no micro-adjust.


    Today I got around to modifying the router table fence by connecting it to the rip fence ...




    The router table fence was built out of 8040 extrusion, and the side supports are 8020 extrusion attached with brackets ...




    The side supports are connected to the K3 rip fence track. This makes it a simple matter to loosen and remove until needed ...




    The fence is not only linked to the rip fence, but also adjusted by its micro adjuster. Not only that, but there is a Wixey digital gauge, and this both aids in monitoring the amount of adjustment, as well as marking a position and returning to it ...



    Regards from Perth

    Really great work! But the one novel thing that really stood out is your stop button for the router. I love it! lol

    Well done Derek!

    Thanks for sharing. Your approach provides an interesting option for making use of the « empty corner » and your recent modifications enhance its functionality. Bravo!

    Salut,

    Jacques

    Thanks for the clarification, Rod. In which case, yes, I built the router table.

    Article here: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/Powered...Adventure.html

    Allied to this, I am asked why no mitre track, and my response is that one is unnecessary. I did something different …

    Edit to add: the fences have a layer of UHMW tape underneath. This is slippery and enables all to literally glide across the table top.
