G8030 3 H.P. Overarm Router
Always use a scrap piece of wood when
testing your pattern for the first time. Make
sure that the desired results are produced
before using expensive project wood.
4. Once all the waste areas have been removed
from the pattern, mount them to a piece of
medium density fiberboard (MDF). Center and
glue the pattern pieces to the MDF.
5. Cut (4)
1
⁄2" wide strips of the same birch ply-
wood used for the pattern. Glue them on the
four sides of the MDF, on the same side as
the pattern. These will serve as runners to
keep the whole assembly level when perform-
ing the routing operation as shown in Figure
24.
6. Flip the MDF over to the blank side.Two dow-
els and clamps need to be mounted as shown
in Figure 25.
7. Determine the size of the workpiece that will
be used with the pattern. Center the work-
piece over the area that contains the pattern
cut-outs on the other side. Install the dowels
at the opposite sides of the clamps so that the
workpiece will be held secure.
8. Your template is now ready for use. Simply
clamp the workpiece into the pattern template
and place it on the guide pin on the router
table. Push the pattern template clockwise
around the entire pattern, making sure the
template guides through the entire pattern
with no hang ups.
