Secondly, a table that tilts is not the safest nor most user-friendly configuration. Stock will have a tendency to fall into the bit, if the table lilts up as in Mr. Nagyszalanczy's design, or fall away from it, if the table tilts down as in the case with (and a common criticism of) the Shopsmith. The relatively simple solution is a design where the table is fixed in the horizontal position, has a low fence and the router (mounting plate) tilts. An added benefit to this design is that the locking device does not need to he as robust as the one in the article since it only supports the weight of the router (and plate) and not that of the table, stock and operator pressure.

With nothing more than a standard router hit, a router table outfitted with one of the INCRA fence systems, and the INCRA supplied plastic alignment reference guides and right angle fixture, anyone can easily and quickly create dovetails that are as tight and precise as any finger template-based system. The system is flexible, too; with it, you can create a number of unique decorative dovetail and other joints, not possible with the majority of finger template-based systems. Alan Schaffter Washington, North Carolina Horizontal Router Table I agree that a tilting table can add "versatility" to a horizontal router table; however, it also comes with two problems, both of which can be fixed with a different approach that will yield the same results. First, with that fence, if the table is tilted at moderate lo high angles, the stock will tend lo wedge between the table and the fence. The top edge of the stock will contact the fence while the bottom edge, especially of thick stock, will be forced Letters continues on page 10 .
