    Router accessory and longer rails

    Hello everyone. Second night on the forum after setting up my new BT3100. Already been cutting some wainscot for the bathroom. If someone could help out I would like to get more info on setting up a router on the BT as well as longer rails. I'm going to need longer rails when I get to the main part of the wainscot. Also have some window trim to rebuild so I'm going to need the router set up (preferably on the BT and not a stand along router table).

    Any help or links to this info would be appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Chadi

    did you read the BT3 FAQ linked to on this site?
    There's a permanent link in the first post under getting started.
    I know there's a section on rails, and a section on mounting routers.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      One safety warning:
      Your post about longer rails and wainscot makes me think that you plan to use rip fence to control length of wainscot while the actual cut will be a crosscut with SMT or miter gauge. Make sure to use a spacer block on the rip fence and not the rip fence itself to set the length of wainscot. Otherwise you are inviting a kick-back.

        This link is a page from my website that shows my router fence. My wide table is just a piece of 3/4" melemine edged in red oak attached to the wide rail kit with the Ryobi supplied hardware.
