Routing Irregular Workpieces
BB, black (1)
Use starting pin. Use only ball-bearing-
guided router bits.
1. With fence removed, remove starting
pin from storage hole and thread into
mounting hole.
2. Position the workpiece against the
starting pin, but clear of the router bit.
Turn on router and slowly advance
the workpiece toward the bit until it
touches the ball-bearing guide and
the bit begins to cut wood. Feed
workpiece against the rotation of the
bit. See Figure 40.
3. Drawing the workpiece along the
starting pin (from right to left, in front
of the router), feed it through the bit,
at the same time pressing it against
the ball-bearing guide until the cut is
complete. See Figure 41.
4. When the cut is complete, move the
workpiece away from the bit, at the
same time keeping it in contact with
the starting pin, until it clears the
router bit completely. See Figure 41.
5. Using the switch box, turn off router.
