ROUTER TABLE PUSH SHOE

摘要

The router table push shoe (10) of the present invention has an upwardly extending handle (11) which is angled slightly towards the operator and away from the router table fence (55). The push shoe of the present invention comes with an adjustable bottom guard (20) removably attached to the base (40), and an adjustable side guard (12) which can be removed and used as a bit height measuring tool. Both the bottom guard (20) and the side guard (12) are adjustable to enable the push shoe (10) to hold thin and narrow stock. The push shoe (10) also comes equipped with a miter bar (30). The horizontally adjustable bottom guard (20) is removably attached to the base (40) via a three wing knob (22). The push shoe also has formed in the front right corner a dovetail gauge (17) for making both male and female joints for sliding dovetail joints. All of these attachments allow the push shoe (10) to be used as a push shoe and also as a miter gauge, depth of bit height reference, a scale to check the distance from the router bit to the fence, and a gauge for making 1/2" sliding dovetail joints.
