I’ve a good amount of 3/8” HDPE I want to use for a zero clearance fence on my router table but still want to make efficient usage of the HDPE but am not sure my idea makes sense...
FWIW - maybe all fences are this way but I’ve an Incra fence which splits in the middle so each half can move further apart or closer together.
Options I’m aware of ...
1) Attach a section to the outfeed table which is close but never touches the bit and a section to the infeed side which touches the bit and will be consumed over time until it’s to short to use and is tossed out.
2) Attach a section to both infeed/outfeed just short of the end of the fence by the bit and create replaceable inserts. This requires accurate setup of both my “V” edge banding router bit set so the ZCI can be removed/inserted. In theory this sounds good and like it might use less material nd take up less storage space but perhaps would be to loose and to much hassle for the benefit
That said, what’s the ideal zero clearance fence?
