Hello, Maybe someone can help me with this. I'm trying to cut 7" squares, 3/8" deep in a pine board that is 38" long. I recently got a Ryobi fixed base with it's own bench table. I tried to do these squares free hand, but when I'm routing the inside of the square, there's no way to keep it level. I've routed out the insides of the squares, but I get gouges on the bottom because router dips when I run off the edges. I guess I need some sort of jig, but really don't know how to make it. If I used the router in the table, it would be routing blind. Don't know how to use this either. The fence on the table seems to be off an 1/8th of an inch. Tried to get the fence even and pushed it back to 3". One side is right at 3", but other side is 3" and an 1/8". Is it supposed to be like this? Any suggestions on how to cut out these squares? I would appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks, Pat
