Construct Router Guide Rails

What happens here

To ensure a straight and consistent router cut, create guide rails. First, measure the width of your router's base. The presenter's router base is 6 5/8 inches. Based on the marked center line on the siding, calculate the required distance from the center to the inside edge of each guide rail. The presenter determines a distance of 3 1/4 inches plus. Place two wooden boards, such as 2x4s, on either side of the composite siding piece, precisely aligned with the calculated distance from the center mark. Secure these guide rails to the workbench using several screws and an impact driver, ensuring they are perfectly parallel and firmly attached so they do not move during the routing process. The screws holding the guide rails will be later plugged or covered, as they are not permanent fasteners in the siding itself.

Goal: Create a stable and accurate guide system for the router
