Install the bit, and adjust the router table’s fence so its faces are flush with the bearing rim (see Photo 2).

Step 3: You’re done with the straight bit, so switch to the rabbeting bit. deeper than the tongue will be long the open space at the bottom of the assembled joint will give the glue some room to migrate so the parts close properly. Note: It’s a good idea to make the groove about 1/32-in. at a time and repeat the process until you reach the groove depth you want. Two passes will ensure that the groove is perfectly centered. Once you’ve completed the first pass, clear out any debris from the groove, then flip the workpiece end-for-end and make a second pass (see Photo 1).

Step 2: Push the stock through the bit using moderate feed speed. Clamp a featherboard to the table to press the wood firmly against the fence. Adjust and lock the fence so the bit is centered between its reference marks with the workpiece held in place. Install the straight bit in your router table, and raise it about 1/4-in. Hair-splitting accuracy isn’t crucial here - just get them close. Mark your workpiece with a couple short reference lines for centering the bit on the thickness of the wood. straight bit or spiral upcut bit makes an ideal groove-cutter into the edge of a workpiece.
