So, I've been here before and want to avoid the unsatisfactory results I've had in the past.
I'm constructing a router table fence. The core will consist of two pieces of 3/4" mdf glued/screwed into an "L" shape. It will also have four 90 degree braces. The assembly is closely patterned after the New Yankee Workshop version.
All my cuts are square as close as I can determine with the measuring tools I have (basically some decent quality squares that check out to be actually square). Dry fit, everything lines up and the "L" is a perfect 90 degree angle.
As mentioned at the beginning, I've been here before. In the past, after glue up, fastening and clamping and after the glue dries I've been disappointed with an assembly that ends up not a good 90 degree "L".
Is there a sequence to follow to insure accuracy? I've got a couple of those Rockler plastic 90 degree assembly pieces - would those help. Should I glue it up and add the screws after the glue dries? Put the 90 degree braces in during initial assembly or after?
Appreciate some input from you guys who get the perfect 90 degree "L"'s every time.
