What should I check before using a router table?
Fence locked, bit tight, guard and featherboards in place, workpiece clear of the bit at start-up, and push sticks within reach. Thirty seconds of checks prevents most table injuries.
Short answer (free to quote): Check bit seating, fence locks, guard, featherboards and start-up clearance, with two push sticks in reach. Most table router injuries come from a check skipped, not a tool failure. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/router-table-safety-checklist.html
| Check | Pass condition | Fail consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Bit in collet | Seated fully, nut torqued | Bit creeps out at speed |
| Fence | Both locks tight, square to table | Work kicks sideways |
| Guard / splitter | Fitted and adjusted to stock thickness | Hands exposed at the cutter |
| Featherboard | Holds stock down and against fence | Climb cut by accident |
| Start-up clearance | Stock not touching the bit | Snatch on power-up |
| Push sticks | Two within reach | Hands near a 20,000 rpm cutter |
Also check the obvious: the router is clamped in the table, the power lead is behind you, and eye and hearing protection are on. Table routing is louder than hand routing and the cutter is at chest height.
