Router Table to Jointer | Using the Shims on the RA1181

Описание: Recently a viewer asked how to use the shims on the RA1181 router I setup. In this video we discuss using your router as a jointer and specifically how to use the shims included with the RA1181 to joint thin boards.

Long story short:
Place the shims on both sides of the fence
Bring the fence even with the nearest point of the cutting edge
Remove the leading shim
Clamp the trailing shim
Joint the board (may take a few passes)

Yes, it’s really that simple and I love it. I’ll be using this more than I have in the past. Thanks for the question!

If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section and I’ll make sure to get back to you. Otherwise, have a great weekend.

Thanks as always and be safe,

Josh
