Assembling the Edge Guide
For edge guide use, assemble guide rods into
tool holder assembly and secure using (2)
#10-24 square nuts and (2) guide rod knobs
(Fig. 11).
Square nut will slide in slots above the guide
rods. Guide rod knobs are assembled from
the top through holes down through nuts, and
against the rods. Fasten edge guide to guide
rods using edge guide knobs, and hex head
nuts.
Locate hex head nuts underneath edge guide
and fasten with edge guide knob on top
surface of edge guide. Slide edge guide
assembly on guide rods as shown. Set edge
guide at desired distance from cutter and
tighten edge guide knobs. (See Fig. 11 )
Edge guide is used for shaping edges, cut-
ting rabbets, dadoes, mortise, tongues,
grooves, slots, and chamfers. Remember to
feed so the cutter tends to pull the edge
guide against the wood. A consistent feed
rate gives a smooth cut.
In general, several shallow cuts should be
used when a deep groove is desired.
Maximum depth of cut will vary depending
on material used. Do not over feed to an
amount that the motor is noticeably slowed.
