The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of workpiece.
Keep the cutting
pressure constant, but do not crowd the router so the motor
speed slows excessively. More than one pass may be necessary on
exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, make the first cut on the
end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of wood occurs at the end
of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel with the grain
.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An optional Edge Guide is available to aid straight edge planing, parallel
grooving, and dado or slotting operations.
To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base Fig. 6 and secure with screws
(B). Adjust the guide (C) on the rods and secure it with thumb screws (D).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides is available for use in pattern and templet
routing operations. Fig. 7 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide, and
locknut.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole of router base and secure in place
with the locknut.
BEFORE CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE, install the bit, adjust the
depth of cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand. Make sure that the bit or
collet do not contact templet guide.
