Hello, is anything either safety or cut wuality gained if sliding both sides of sacrificial fence into bit?
Hi Matthew. It typically isn’t necessary to do the outfeed side. And, because of the rotation of the bit, the outfeed side can be grabby if you do choose to cut it.
Thanks

Thank you, I had this kind of problem several times and didn’t know how to solve it!
Pretty impressive demonstration there, George. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks! I try to get the most out of the fence.
Awesome!
It’s a drawer lock bit.
George that is a great idea. I am in the start of building upper kitchen cupboards and was wondering for some of my needed end grain router cuts how I was going to stop the tear out. I’ve tried backing the piece into the router bit from the wrong side, but while OK I found it very uncomfortable because the possibility for the board to take a fast walk down the table. Will be installing the sacrifice MDF board this weekend. Question though why you did’nt do the same with the sacrifice on the high side of the bit as well?
The cut is only prone to tear out on the infeed side, not the oufeed side, so you only need to create the zero clearance on the infeed side.
Somehow I should have known that. Oh well blame it on the old guy syndrome. Got the MDF installed and used it today for the first time. Much improved edges. Thanks for the tip.
