Rout-R-Table System
This product shot is from the new Jessem website and shows the various
Jessem products that go together to make up
the Jessem router table that we assembled here.
The following are a part of that story:

Putting it
Together —The assembly of the table, stand, fence and
lift were all very easy, thanks to some great step-by-step
instructions and very accurately made parts.

Making the
First Cut — With the whole table assembled, I wanted to try it out.
Making a locking miter cut was a good test of the accuracy and
repeatability of the Rout-R-Lift.

Beth Sets Up
the Router to Joint Edges — The Jessem Rout -R-Fence comes
complete with two pieces of acrylic strips that can be used for very accurate edge
jointing of boards. She is getting ready to joint some large boards
that will be used in her blanket chest project.

A Shop-Built
Sliding Jig — I made a slide table jig that fits into the Jessem handy miter
gauge slot. Beth and I will use it to hold large piece in place in the blanket chest
project shown below.

Beth Uses
the Sliding Table Jig— It may look awkward to be working a large section of the
blanket chest, but Beth finds that the sliding table jig makes it simple. She is able to
machine all the edges after they are assembled — a neat trick.

Mast-R-Plate
— It may look funny, but once you use it you will swear there
is no easier and safer way to install a router in the router table — any router.

Mite-R-Slide
- a Great Add to the Router Table - This is a new product from Jessem that won lots
of attention at last year's IWF. Now I have it, and I can understand completely — it
is a great addition to the router table fence. Beth and I have used it a bit but keep on
finding new uses for it.

Using the Router Table for Cutting
Biscuit Slots — For years I have found that the router table can be used much
easier and more accurately for cutting biscuit slots.

Beth Uses Mast-R-Lift to Make Bit Change Easy — Sometimes changing
router bits can be difficult. Beth uses the Mast-R-Lift to quickly crank the bit
to above the table where two wrenches have easy access.

Installing the Rout-R-Lift in the SuperStation — In this article I am
constructing a router table to fit in the table saws extension. Key to this is fitting the
hole for the Rout-R-Lift. It is easy if you follow these step-by-step instructions. No
template was necessary — I used the actually lift.

Modifying the Hitachi M12V to Get Higher Bit Access — This was
rather easy an operation. You may not need to do it, but it is nice to know it is
possible.

Using the SuperStation Rout-R-Lift — This is the first of many
times
when the always ready router station is useful.

The Rout-R-Lift Can Handle the Big Bits as Well — The Hitachi M12V is
held
very securely in this lift and can handle all the big jobs.
