7. Tighten the main fence threaded knobs.
8. Double check that the router is secured to the
table. If it is, the router table is ready for use.
Profile cutting with pilot bits:
Router bits with ball bearings are called pilot bits.
The ball bearing is used to control the depth of cut
into the edge face of a board. A good example
would be a chamfer cut. The bearing rides along
the uncut edge of the board while the cutter
removes the wood.
1. Mount a router bit into your router according
to the router manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Snap one of the table inserts into the
recessed hole on the table. Use the insert
with the smallest hole that still allows the bit
free rotation.
3. Raise the bit to the desired height.
4. Loosen the threaded knobs that secure the
main fence.
5. Adjust the fence back away from the bit only
enough to allow the bearing to control the
depth of cut as shown in Figure 23 & 24.
6. Adjust the fence as close as possible to the
bearing. The fence will serve as a back-up
support, reducing the chance of an accident.
