I am going to be making a router table from some plans that I saw in an
issue of American Woodworker They have an option for a freehand routing
fence that includes a guide pin. I have freehanded several curves and such
without a guide pin and have never had any problems. My question
is......... are they necessary for freehanding or am I just biding my time
before something bad happens?

TIA,
Scott

Please e-mail also if possible since I do not get the opportunity to check
back more than once a week.
