Using Ball-Bearing-Guided Bits
To help reduce the
chance of injury, make
sure the fences are as close as possible
to the router bit pilot. Move the fences
back ONLY enough to permit the ball-
bearing guide to control the depth of cut.
See Figure 22.
WARNING
NOTE: Make sure boards that are to be
jointed together are true and smooth.
Also make sure edges are prepared
properly.
1. Loosen the knobs holding the fences
in place. See Figure 21.
2. Against the left fence, place a
straightedge.
3. Slide fence until straightedge touches
the outside diameter of the router bit.
4. Tighten the left fence knobs.
5. Position the right fence to the desired
depth of the cut.
6. Tighten the right fence knobs.
7. Securely tighten the router bit, and
make sure the router is properly
assembled to the router table as
previously detailed in this manual.
