In-line Fence ApplicationsOnce set to the in-line/mid-rangeposition as described on page 4, yournew INCRA Wonder Fence can beused for a variety of typical in-linefence applications, including grooving,dadoing, and edge forming operationssuch as rabbeting, chamfering, androundovers. You’ll also find the in-lineposition useful for many specialtyoperations. With the Hi-Rise fencecap, you’ll be able to use verticalpanel raising bits to make raisedpanels for cabinetry, and since itsdesign is compatible with all INCRAjoint-making accessories, you’ll beable to use the Wonder Fence inconjunction with your INCRA JigUltra as a joint-making fence.Vertical Panel RaisingAdjust infeed/outfeed fences toThe introduction of the vertical panelFig. 11the in-line/mid-range position asraising bit has made cutting the revealVertical paneldescribed on page 4.on a raised panel a relatively simpleraisingoperation for the router table.

Whenever it is necessary toremove large amounts ofstock, always use multipleside-by-side passes to achievethe final cut. Several shallowcuts are safer and will yieldbetter results.Joint Making (INCRA Jig Ultra required)Adding an INCRA Jig Ultra to yourWonder Fence makes precise placementof multiple side-by-side cuts a cinch.One such operation requiring this kind ofprecision is joint making. Once placedin the in-line/mid-range position, yournew Wonder Fence becomes a perfectreplacement for the standard straightfence commonly used with the INCRAJig. It is completely compatible with allof the INCRA joint-making accessories,including the INCRA Right Angle Fixture,Stop, and joinery templates. The setupfollows, see Fig. 12:1Adjust infeed/outfeed fences tothe in-line/mid-range position,see page 4.2Adjust fence gap as described onpage 5.Follow the instructions for thejoint you wish to cut as detailedin the INCRA Master ReferenceGuide and Template Library.Clearance is provided for between the Hi-Rise fence cap, the bracesand all INCRA joint-making accessories. However, since the Hi-Risefence cap and braces are not necessary for joinery, you may remove themfrom the Wonder Fence if you prefer. Just loosen the (2) socket headfasteners that secure the fence cap braces, and slide the assembly off of theWonder Fence.Fig. 12Joint Making36

Offset Fence ApplicationsOne of the most valuable features of the Wonder Fenceis the ability to offset the infeed and outfeed fences. Theoffset fence adds a whole new dimension to the router table,allowing it to perform two new operations – jointing, andshaping.Fig. 13JointingJointingMost woodworking projects require that your boardsbegin with at least one straight edge. This one straightedge then becomes the reference surface for subsequentperpendicular or parallel cuts. By using your WonderFence and the technique described below, you’ll be ableto put a perfectly straight edge on your board at the routertable and, because of the higher RPM of the router, you’llfind the freshly jointed edge far smoother than any jointermachine can produce.1Install a 1 2" diameter (or larger) straight bit and setthe depth of cut to slightly greater than the thicknessof stock to be joined.2Adjust fence gap as necessary (see Gap Adjustmenton page 5).3Adjust infeed/outfeed fences to the in-line/ mid-rangeposition as described on page 4.Fig. 14Jointing setupAdjust the location of the Wonder Fence at yourrouter table to place the outfeed fence in line withthe outermost cutting arc of the router bit. (Astraightedge placed against the outfeed fence can be usedto help align the fence with the cutter.) Fig. 14.4Second:Microadjustinfeed fencebackward(-)OutfeedfenceFirst: Position WonderFence to align fencewith cutting wing on therouter bitStraightedgeMicro adjust the infeed fence backward (-). Thereading on the scale will represent the amount ofstock you wish to remove from the board’s edge oneach pass. A light cut (infeed cursor reading between -1and -2) will yield the smoothest results.5ShapingFig. 15Many shaping operations involve the removal of theentire edge of a square piece of stock as it is moved pastthe cutter. Once the stock is removed from the edge, itbecomes necessary to support the freshly cut surface bymoving the outfeed fence forward. Although similar tojointing, the setup is slightly different. Here’s how:1InfeedfenceShapingInstall router bit and set desired depth of cut.2Adjust fence gap as necessary (see Gap Adjustmenton page 5).3Adjust infeed/outfeed fences to the in-line/mid-rangeposition as described on page 4.4Adjust the location of the Wonder Fence at yourrouter table to achieve the desired cut profile. Usea scrap piece of wood and make trial cuts to help indetermining the fence position.Make a fresh test cut about 3" long on a piece of scrapstock, then turn off the router. You’ll notice a gapbetween the freshly cut surface and the outfeed fence,Fig. 16. Simply micro adjust the outfeed fence forward by thisamount to support the stock’s edge as it passes the cutter.Fig. weenstock andoutfeedfence –microadjustoutfeedfenceforward( ) by thisamount

Zero Clearance SubfencesAdding a zero clearance subfence to your Wonder Fenceis a perfect solution to providing tearout control andadditional support for your workpiece when using largediameter cutters. Typically a zero clearance subfenceis a long piece of wood with the profile of a particularcutter bandsawn into the face. When attached to therouter table fence and moved into position, the routerbit nestles into the cutout. This close fit around thecutter provides the tearout control and support foryour workpiece, Fig. 17. Here’s how to prepare a zeroclearance subfence for your Wonder Fence:Fig. 17Zero clearance subfenceFig. 18Making a zero clearance subfence blankBegin with one piece of 3 4" medium densityfiberboard 3 1 16" xDetail 1832".

See Fig 19. Install a 5 16" straight bit in your routertable and set the depth of cut to 1 4". Position your fence sothat the router bit will nestle into the through hole located atone end of the subfence. Clamp a stop on your infeed fenceagainst the end of the zero clearance fence. Lift the zeroclearance fence off of the router and place the end of the zeroclearance fence against the stop. Now slowly lower the pieceonto the cutter. Slide the zero clearance fence forward untilthe router bit is seen entering the rear hole. Slide the pieceback to the starting position and turn off the router.To make this cutting operationsafer, use double-faced tape toattach a scrap block of wood to thezero clearance fence. The scrap canbe used as a handle to safely raiseand lower the stock.Fig. 20Connect throughholes with slotthrough the top of the stock.
