Edge Guide
The edge guide is used for guiding the router relative to
the edge of a workpiece. This can be used for interior
plunge routing (such as fluted columns) or for edge
forming. While the operations are similar, there are
additional setups necessary for edge form routing.
Edge Forming Setup
When using the edge guide for edge forming, the router
bit will be within the cutout of the edge guide (as shown
to the right).
► The two fence plates need to be separated enough to
clear the router bit so the bit does not cut the fence.
► There are three options for dust collection. The
standard dust extraction shroud may be used (see
page 7), the optional dust chute may be attached to
the underside of the edge guide, or both dust
extraction options may also be used together (this
would require two vacuum hoses).
1. Loosen the four mounting screws on the fence plates
and slide the plates apart enough to clear the router
bit.
2. Retighten the mounting screws.
3. If desired, slide the dust chute under the mounting
tabs until it clicks into place.
General Setup
The same general setup is used for both interior
and edge form routing. The image to the right
shows an edge forming setup.
1. Insert the guide rods through the edge guide as
shown, and tighten the Guide Rod Thumbscrews.
2. Insert the other end of the guid
