Fence for boxjoints and dovetails??? Never... only the miter slot and jig, why on earth would you use the fence? For sliding dovetails only the fence is used and not the miter...
I cut box and dovetails all the time for my guitar amp cabinets. Using the miter and the fence together is like cutting to stock to length on a table saw using the fence as a stop... Big recipe for a bind and a kick back and a potential injury. It's just not something that you do.
The only thing that really matters with a router table is that the fence face be 90 degrees from the table face and the distance of the fence face to the Router bit.
I've watched the Router Workshop guy many times and have seen many shops using router tables for custom cabinets and furniture. (In fact one of my drinking buddies runs a successful custom woodworking shop. Never seen him use the two together.)
