pivot fence

Today I am making a pivot fence for the new router table, complete with dust collection connection. The advantage of a pivot fence is that it is extremely easy to make, clamps firmly in position with a single C clamp and can be micro adjusted. You only move one end and the distance moved in relation to the cutter is only a fraction. So for very precise adjustment of fit, it can't be beat.

During a President's day holiday at school we had inservice meetings as a followup to our classroom observations a couple weeks ago. The idea was that by taking time to observe in other classrooms and share commendations and recommendations, we might help each other to better conform to the school mission of providing hands-on, hearts engaged education.
