• The table is 24" wide x 20" deep x 25" height with a sturdy 3/4" thick MDF core, durable melamine surface and polyethylene plastic edges.
• 3/4" thick MDF core with melamine surface extension fences, on both sides of the router plate give maximum support to long stock.
• The 3/8" thick, 11-3/4" x 11-1/2" router plate is held in routing position by sturdy aluminum extrusions, along with two locking knobs which safely secure the sliding router plate in position.
• Use with 3 HP routers or less. Raise or lower your router up to 2-1/8" below or 2-3/8" above the table.

Make Raised Panels on the HORIZONTAL ROUTER TABLE
Note: The Horizontal Router Table cannot be used to make cathedral doors.

1) Start by cutting your panel to its finished size. You may choose to allow
a small 1/16" to 1/8" gap inside the rail & stile for seasonal wood
movement.

2) After you have cut your panel to its finished dimension, install a
vertical raised panel bit in your router.

3) Adjust the router bit depth so the router bit will cut a 3/8" depth flat
cut before the profile cut starts. Position the router plate height so that
the router bit's edge is just above the surface of the tabletop. Turn the
locking knobs to secure the router and plate in place.

4) Turn on the router and working from left to right, make the first pass on
the end grain of the panel. Cut the end grain first so that any tear out can
be cleaned up when you cut with the grain.

5) After cutting the end grain on the panel, cut the two remaining edges
(with grain cuts).

6) Turn off the router and wait for the router bit to come to a complete
stop.

7) Loosen the two locking knobs on the router plate and adjust the bit up a
small amount. Lock the knobs to secure the plate and make your second pass
on the panel.

8) Repeat until you have a 1/4" tongue to fit into the slot on the rails and
stiles. TIP: Taking many shallow passes will yield a better cut than trying
to cut too aggressively which may lead to a poor cut quality or excessive
tear-out.

Remember Safety Rules: Wear proper eye protection, keep hands away from
router bit and never rout with the router bit above your workpiece - always
keep your workpiece above the router bit.
