1/32 1 2 15/32 OPERATION ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the peak horsepower of the router motor, the type of cutter, and the type of wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed for making shallow cuts. A router with a high horsepower rating can safely cut deeper. Small cutters, such as veining bits with 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) cutting diameters, are designed to remove only small amounts of wood. Large cutters, such as straight-flute bits, are made to

OPERATION FEEDING THE ROUTER 5 6 The “secret” of professional routing and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the cut and in selecting the proper rate of feed. 3 DIRECTION (EXTERNAL) See Figures 14 and 15. 4 2 PROPER CUTTING SEQUENCE When routing, the cutter rotates clockwise. Therefore, you should feed the router into the workpiece from left to right. When you feed the router from left to right, the 1 rotation of the cutter pulls the router against the workpiece. If you feed the r

OPERATION RATE OF FEED The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the wood, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, a faster rate of feed can be used. When making deep cuts in hardwoods such as oak, a slower rate of feed should be used. TOO FAST The best rate of feed is one that does not slow down the Fig. 17 router motor more than one-third of its no-load speed. If the router is

OPERATION DETERMINING DEPTH OF CUT See Figure 19. DEPTH As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important WIDTH OF CUT because it affects the rate of feed that, in turn, affects the OF CUT quality of the cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to your router motor and bit). A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one, and a too deep cut will cause you to slow the feed so much that the bit is no longer cutting, it is scraping, instead. Making a deep cut is never advisable. The sma

OPERATION When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutlines. Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining waste in the center of the groove freehand. ROUTING BY FREEHAND See Figure 21. When used freehand, your router becomes a flexible and versatile tool. Thi

OPERATION EDGING WITH PILOTS ROUTER See Figure 22. You can cut rabbets and molded edges using piloted cutters. The pilot, which extends below the cutter, allows the cutter to turn while the pilot follows the edge of the workpiece. Some pilots are solid extensions of the cutter. Others are ball bearing guides that are fastened to the end of the cutter. PILOT Arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick, easy edge shaping. They follow workpiece edges that are WORK either straight or curved.
