distance from t-slot to router bit

Is the distance form the t-slot to the router bit a standard
measurement? I am building my own table and want to make sure I do it
right!

If you're going to use your miter gauge from the TS make sure it's far
enough away to accommodate that.

Ok I will mirror my saw's T-slot spacing and bias it towards the front. Both
great suggestions, thanks!

It can be anything you want. Consider the location of the insert also.
Some tables have them centered. Mine is 1/3 from the front leaving a lot of
room in the back. The theory is that most things are small so you don't
want to have to be reaching in a lot. When you do have a large panel to
rout, you work from the other side and you have a much larger surface in
front of the bit. So far I agree with that theory.
