OPERATION
STARTING AND ENDING A CUT
INTERNAL ROUTING
Tilt router and place on workpieca, letting edge of subbase
contactworkpleoa first. Be careful not to letrouter bitcontact
workpisce.Turn router on and letmotorbuild to itsfullspeed.
Gradually feed cutter into workpleca until subbese is level
withworkplece.

EDGING WITH PILOT BITS
The arbor-type bits with pilots are excellent for quick, easy,
edge shaping ofany workpleca edge that iseither straightor
curved atacurvature as great or greater than the radiusofthe
bittobe used. The pilotprevents the bitfrom making too deep
acut;andholdingthe pilotfirmly Incontact withthe workpiece
edge throughoutprevents the cutfrom becoming too shallow.
Whenever the workpieca thickness together with the desired
depthofcut(as adjustedby routerdepth setting) are suchthat
onlythe top partof the edge isto be shaped (leaving at least
a 1/16 in. thick uncut portion at bottom), the pilot can ride
against the uncut portion, which will serve to guide it. See
Figure 13. However, ifthe workpiece istoo thin or the bitset
too low so that there will be no uncut edge to dde the pilot
against, anextra board toact as aguide mustbe placed under
the workplece. This "guide" board must have exactly the
same contour-- straight or curved---as the workplece edge.
If itis positioned so that itsedge is flush with the workpiece
edge, the bitwill make afull cut (inas far as the bit radius).On
the other hand, if the guide ispositioned as shown in Figure
13 (out from the workplece edge), the bitwill make less than
a fullcut -- which will alter the shape ofthe finished edge.
NOTE: Any of the piloted bits can be used without a pilotfor
edge shaping withguides, as preceding. The size (diameter)
of the pilot that is used determines the maximum_cut width
that can be made with the pilot against the workpiece edge
(the small pilot exposes all of the bit;the large one reduces
this amount by 1/16 inch).
