The old man is the star of the program and does not have any t-track installed in the table, matter of fact the fence is never "square to the cutting bit", reason being is this is a rotating bit, not a table saw type machine.
No need to bring table saw thinking to the router table, there apples and oranges |
If using a miter slot to feed your stock, to make box joints or dovetails, for example, the fence MUST be parallel to the slot. Sure, you can just use the fence, but the miter slot gives you some added stability for certain operations.
