Router guides don’t have to be complex. When routing along a long edge you just need something to register the bit in a straight line along the edge. My shop-made guide couldn’t be simpler.
Setting an accurate depth of cut on a router bit is a fussy task. Precise routing usually takes some test cuts, unless you have a depth gauge. Rather than buy a commercial option though, I figured I could make a better one myself.
One of the best upgrades you can make for a drill press is to add a larger table and a fence. While wandering the home center, I found an easy way to make them — slatwall panels.
