Looking at the bit from above the router table; the bit rotates counter
clockwise. Using an outboard fence like the one that you are looking at
will feed the stock (right to left) into the outer edge of the bit and into
the bit rotation. Feeding right to left on the inboard fence will feed with
the rotation and cause problems with the climb cut. I suppose that if your
inboard fence will go back far enough (not normally) that you could feed
left to right with the wood between the fence and bit (use feather boards to
help hold it though). This accessory fence is made to work with commercial
tables where the inboard fence will not move back far enough to feed stock
between the fence and bit.

I'll ask you the same question that I have for Tom. If I push the
stock between the fence and the bit from the other direction it should
be the same as their setup in terms of proper feed direction. I would
need to have something to hold the stock tight to the fence. Is this
sufficient to make this safe?

Thanks for the reply.

It will work OK; but why buy it if you have a tablesaw or RAS. The
fence
used for reference is not the router fence, but the new fence on the
outboard side (that you still have to supply). You will pushing the
stock
into the bit rotation, so it is safe. Do not try to push stock between
the
bit and the router table fence; that is where you have safety issues.

My question is mostly one of safety. I considered jointing small
stock this way and was advised to never to push wood between the bit
and a fence. Anyone want to confirm this advice and if so, would the
featherboards help to completely eliminate the danger of doing so?

If the link doesn't work just search on their site for "stock sizer".

Thanks

PS
Also a small disclaimer that I own and love many of Woodhaven's
products... I am just worried about how this works.
