OPERATION SELECTING DEPTH OF CUT DEPTH Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the a Dju STm ENT horsepower of the router motor, the type of bit, and the type k NOb of wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed TO for making shallow cuts; a router with higher horsepower is INCr Ea SE TO designed for deeper cuts. Small bits, such as veining bits DEPTH DECr Ea SE with 1/16 in. cutting diameters, are designed to remove only DEPTH small amounts of wood. Large bits, su

OPERATION NOTE: To adjust the depth of cut when the router is mounted to a router table, unplug the router, loosen the lock lever, turn the depth adjustment knob until the bit reaches the desired depth of cut, and retighten the lock lever. ON/OFF When the router is mounted to a router table, depth adjust- SWITCH ments can be made easily by using a T-handle wrench. To make through table adjustments: Unplug the router.

OPERATION OPERATING THE ROUTER When routing straight cuts across a workpiece, clamp a STra Ig HT straight edge to the workpiece to use as a guide. EDg E NOTE: Edge guides for the router are also available. See Accessories. Position the straight edge parallel to the line of cut and offset the distance between the cutting edge of the bit and the edge of the router base. Hold the router base against the straight edge and rout the groove. When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the b

OPERATION WARNING: Do not use large router bits for freehand routing. Use of large router bits when freehand routing could cause loss of control or create other hazardous conditions that could result in personal injury. If using a router table, large bits should be used for edging only. FREEHAND ROUTING See Figure 10. When used freehand, the router becomes a flexible and versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible to easily rout signs, relief sculptures, etc. When freehand routing

OPERATION DIRECTION OF FEED AND THRUST See Figures 12 - 13. 6 5 The router motor and bit revolve in a clockwise direction. This gives the tool a slight tendency to twist in a counterclockwise 3 direction, especially when the motor revs up. Pr OPEr Feed the router into the workpiece from left to right. When 2 Cu TTINg 4 fed from left to right, the rotation of the bit pulls the router SEqu ENCE against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation of the spinning bit will te

OPERATION FEEDING TOO FAST See Figure 14. Clean, smooth routing and edge shaping can be done only when the bit is revolving at a relatively high speed and is taking very small bites to produce tiny, cleanly severed chips. If you force the router to move forward too fast, the RPM of the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward movement. As a result, the bit must take bigger bites as it revolves. Bigger bites mean bigger chips and a rougher finish. Also, because bigger bite

OPERATION DEPTH OF CUT See Figures 16 - 17. Depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed DEPTH that, in turn, affects the quality of the cut and the possibility OF Cu T WIDTH OF Cu T of damage to the tool’s motor and bit. A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one. A cut that is too deep will slow the feed so that the bit is scraping rather than cutting. A too deep cut can cause smaller bits to be broken off. Bits that are 1/16 in. in diameter are easily broken
