: What is the purpose of the angular lines that are cut into the guides on the
: router table (I'm not an experienced woodworker). I have seen it in

Hi Danny,
A wild guess on my part but they may be to prevent any build-up of wood particles interfering with the piece being worked. The dust goes into the slots instead of laying on top of the surface and making the piece rise, and ruin the line of routing.
