If a particular application requires that you precisely
and consistently start and/or stop multiple workpieces
at the same place, it may be beneficial to use stop
blocks. Stop blocks are positioned so that when the end
of the workpiece contacts the stop block, travel is
restricted. F
Fiig gu urree 2 28 8.. For example, if cutting mortises
with a router, they must be precise in length so that the
tenons will fit properly. In some instances, it may be
desirable to precisely start and/or stop while doing
edge work such as chamfering. Stop blocks can be sim-
ple scraps of wood that clamp to the fence or table or
they can be adjustable, after-market stop blocks that
attach to the top of the fence. To use stop blocks, deter-
mine their position and secure to the fence or table.
The amount of offset between the stop block and router
bit is dependent upon the distance between the end of
the cut and the end of the workpiece. Test your setup
with a scrap piece of wood and adjust if necessary.
Once the stop blocks are properly adjusted, it is a sim-
ple matter to produce consistent, multiple cuts.
