ROUTER TABLE ASSEMBLY WITH MICROSET THROAT PLATE

摘要

A router table assembly (10) includes a removable throat plate (12) having a frame (22) with a generally-planar upper surface (24), and an opening (28) formed in the frame's upper surface (24). A disc (36), supported within the opening (28) for rotation about a first axis (38), includes a through-hole (42) which is sized to permit extension therethrough of a routing bit (44) along a second axis (46) parallel to the first axis (38). A graduated scale (50) on the frame (22) adjacent to the disc (36) cooperates with a reference mark (52) on the disc (36) to provide an indication of the displacement of the bit's second axis (46) relative to a reference edge (26) on the router table's working surface (18). A clamp (54) secures the disc (36) against rotation after the disc (36) has been rotated within the frame (22) to position the bit's second axis (46) a desired distance from the reference edge (26). A fence (60) is secured in one of a plurality of parallel-spaced positions relative to the reference edge (26).
