Tip: As an alternative to fabricating a custom jig,
use the Shop Fox Model W1500 Right Angle Jig, as
shown in Figure 26.
3. Remove the fence assembly from the table.
4. Fabricate and mount a custom guard over the bit
that safely protects your hands from the spinning
cutter.
5. Insert the starting pin in the best suited hole on
the routing table or clamp a starting block to the
table (see Figure 25 on the previous page for an
example).
6. Install a router bit with a rub collar as directed by
the router manufacturer's instructions, then raise it
to the desired height (see Figure 27).
7. Connect the router to power and turn it ON.
8. Rest the jig with the workpiece attached against the
starting pin or block, then slowly pivot and feed it
into the bit. After the cut is started, move the jig
against the rub collar and away from the starting pin
or block, as illustrated in Figure 24 on the previous
page.
