Deep Cuts The proper cutting depth for each pass is always determined by the material, the cutting bit size and type, and the power of the router motor. Always make several progressively deeper cuts by starting at one depth and then make several passes, each time increasing the cutting; depth until your desired depth is reached. Making a cut that i[...]

LED WORKLIGHTS (Fig° 8) Your router motor has 3 built-in work lights located around the collet/nut to provide high vis- ibility of work piece when cut- ting.

When us[...]

EDGING wrrH A PILOT BIT (Figs, 15 and 15a) Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for edge shap- ing any work-piece edge that is straight or is curved at a curvature that is equal to or greater than the bit radius. The pilot prevents the bit from making too deep a cut. Hold- ing the pilot firmly in contact with the work-piece edge prevents the c[...]

FEEDING THE ROUTER (Fig. 16) The secret to professional rout- ing is in making a careful set-up for the cut, selecting the proper depth of cut, knowing how the cutting bit reacts in your work piece, and the rate and direc- tion of feed of the router. DIRECTION OF FEED - EX- TERNAL CUTS (Fig. 16) The router motor and cut- ting bit rotate clockwise. [...]

DIRECTION OF FEED., INTERNAL CUTS (Figs. ! 7 _nd 17a) [ When making an internal cut, Fig.17 such as a groove, dado or slot, always have the guide you are using with the router (edge guide, straight edge, board guide), on the right- hand side of the router as you make your cut, see Fig. 17). When the guide is positioned on the right hand side of the[...]

RATE OF FEED (Figs. 18 and '18a) The proper rate of feed de- pends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the work piece, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When you are cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, you may use a faster rate of feed. When mak- ing deep cuts in hardwoods such as oak, [...]

With almost no load on the router motor, the cutting bk has a tendency to bounce off the sides of the cut in the work piece, producing a cut with a rippled finish instead of clean straight sides. CHIP SHIELD DEFLECTOR (Fig. 19) WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection. The chip shield deflector is not intended as a safety guard. Fig. 19 To remove chip s[...]

To adjust Depth with the Depth-Adjustment Wrenc_ (Fig° 21) NOTE: The Depth-Adjustment Fig° 2i Wrench supplied is used to adjust the depth of cut when the router fixed to the router table (Model No. 320. 28180). The bit depth can be adjusted by turning the Micro Adjust- ment Dial clockwise or coun- terclockwise with the wrench supplied. The depth [...]
