Abstract
Abstract A router guide for a router comprising first and second spaced-apart end supports adapted to be removably positioned on spaced-apart supporting surfaces. First and second support members are secured to and extend between the ends of the first and second supports and have an elongated router track slidably mounted thereon and extending therebetween. The router track comprises elongated spaced-apart angle members adapted to receive and support the router base. The angle members are spaced-apart to define an elongated opening extending therebetween adapted to receive the power shaft of the router extending downwardly therethrough. The support members are selectively vertically and horizontally mounted on the end supports. The router track may be selectively moved between the end supports and the router may be selectively moved between the ends of the router track to level a large slab of wood.

Independent Claim
287 words
A router guide for a router including a flat base portion having a power shaft extending downwardly therefrom, comprising, first and second spaced-apart elongated supports adapted to be removably positioned on spaced-apart supporting surfaces, said supports having opposite ends, each of said supports having upstanding posts at the opposite ends thereof, a collar selectively vertically adjustably mounted on each of said posts and having horizontally disposed openings formed therein adjacent the upper ends thereof, a first elongated support member having its opposite ends selectively longitudinally adjustably received in the openings in the collars at one end of said first support and one end of said second support and extending therebetween, a second elongated support member having its opposite ends selectively longitudinally adjustably received in the openings in the collars at the other end of said first support and the other end of said second support and extending therebetween, means for removably maintaining said support members in said collars, an elongated router track slidably mounted on said first and second support members and extending therebetween whereby said track may be selectively moved between said first and second supports, said outer track comprising elongated spaced-apart angle members having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, said horizontal portions of said angle members being spaced from each other to define an elongated opening therebetween adapted to receive the router power shaft extending downwardly therethrough, said vertical portions of said angle members being spaced apart approximately the width of the router base to limit lateral movement of the router with respect to the router track, said angle members adapted to receive and support the router base thereon whereby the router may be slidably supported thereon for movement between the ends thereof.
