ISSUE SIXTY-NINE Sources Router Table Fence & Accessories ■ There isn't much hardware required for the router table fence on page 16. T-Track - To add the accessories to the fence you'll need a piece of T-track. T-track isn't often available locally, so sources are listed in the margin. Knobs - The only piece of hardware that might be difficult to find is the knobs with built-in 5/ifi"T8 inserts. Sources for these knobs, as well as the through knobs, are listed in the margin. Accessories - Instead of making a bit guard or featherboard, you can buy them from the sources in the margin. Because the sizes may vary, it's best to have them on hand before Rust Prevention ■ If you have a garage or basement workshop, rust is a constant concern. Since you can't wrap your 1 tools up enough to keep the rust out, you'll have to deal with minimizing it and removing it. The products mentioned in the cast iron article on page 32 go a long way toward winning the battle of rust. Each Sandflex block is made from a semi-flexible rubber with grit impregnated throughout the block. As you "erase" away any rust, new particles are constantly being exposed — so it never clogs up. Sandflex blocks come in coarse, medium, and fine grits. Once you have the rust removed, you can spray the surface with either TopCote or Boeshield T-9. Both products seal and protect the surface from rust while creating a smooth, slick surface. Sources for the sanding blocks and the lubricants are listed in the margin.

Drill Bit- Finally, for drilling the hole the fence for hooking up your dust hose, the margin sources carry large-diameter drill bits like the multi-spur bit shown above.
