## Three Good Reasons to Use the Router Table <a href="#id-1-0-two-reasons-to-use-a-drum-sander" id="id-1-0-two-reasons-to-use-a-drum-sander"></a>

**Safety** By making this machine table based instead of handheld the dangerous cutting components are contained to one area making this machine safer and more predictable.&#x20;

**Accuracy** The additional features of a table, large fence and easy to adjust cutting depth make the table router easier to use with more consistent results.

**Making joints** With the setup of the INCRA Positioner, the table router makes the making of a variety of box joints / finger joints and dovetail joints easier than it would have otherwise been.
