To take advantage of the joiner capabilities
James R on Aug 3, 2016
I am not yet ready to pick up a jointer. These shims will hopefully simplify the jointing I have done on my router table. In the past, I have been cutting my own shims which gets to be a pain.

Don't have a jointer, and am tired of trying to cut paper thin shims off of scrap to use on the router table.

I have a single car garage wood shop so floor space is important to me. I have a jointer for the shop but only use it to square up the edges of my glue joints etc.
I upgraded my router table so I figure that with these shims I can do the same thing as my jointer for my purposes and sell my jointer and gain some floor space in the process.

So i can use router table as a jointer
curtis m on Jun 21, 2015
do not have a jointer in my shop. I tried to make a jointer jig for my table saw but it was rather bulky. These shims did the job with even greater accuracy for my router table.

Can these shims be modified to use on a Porter-Cable router table?
Jeff L on Dec 23, 2015
BEST ANSWER: i don't see why not. They are made of plastic, so you should be able to cut them or punch holes in them or whatever needs to be done. They are all different sizes and make a great addition to the router table when you want to joint. Hope this helps.

Why would I need these? I would think that if I offset my fence by approx. 1/16" I could achieve the result I am looking for.
Jeff L on Dec 25, 2015
BEST ANSWER: And these shims are used to offset the fence. Some people use a fence a system that are plum and it maybe easier to have shims with different thicknesses that can be quickly switched out.

Good value router table shims
Pretty simple product. It does what it's supposed to do. They seem to be durable and will not easily rip/tear/break/crack. I'm pleased with my purchase and they come in handy in many situations.

The pre-cut slots don't fit the Bench Dog ProFence that comes with Package #2, but a pair of scissors easily fixes that. The method described in D Down's review is the way to use them. They greatly increase the versatility of the router table. It's a great way to avoid having to buy a jointer and still make nice tight joints.

I've been looking for something like this for some time. Had resorted to using striping tape on the back side of my fence to set it out. These are the perfect solution.

You can't beat the price on these shims. They are not meant for the smaller Rockler Router fence, but that was an easy fix. I had to add an additional slot to fit the smaller fence. Pretty easy after securing all in place with only one bolt & then drilling through all shims. The hole was then elongated with a dremel using a drum sander.

Fits the basic Rockler fence just fine, works exactly as advertised. Perhaps a little pricey for the 6 pieces of plastic you get, but does the job.

Somewhat difficult to remove, otherwise a very affordable approach to making my new Rockler Router table more versatile. I priced out DIY methods using various materials and couldn't beat the price or out-of-the-box ease of use.
