EDGE CUTTING WITH PILOTED ROUTER
BITS (Figs. 28 and 29)
Disconnect the router from the
power supply before making
adjustments or changing accessories. Such
precautionary safety measures reduce the risk
of unintentional tool operation.
NOTE: If the jointing shim is installed, remove it before
proceeding.
1. Install the desired piloted bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 27 to set the desired
height of cut (Fig. 28). Make sure that the router is
SECURELY in place.
3. Adjust the router table fence back just enough that
the pilot on the router bit will control the depth of cut.
The router bit pilot should just barely protrude past
the fence facings. Tighten the fence clamping knobs
SECURELY.
4. Position both fence facings so that they clear the bit
by 1/4
.
"
5. Tighten the four clamping knobs holding the fence
facings in place.
6. Remove the board from the table and lower the
overhead guard to the operating position. Tighten
the guard clamping knobs SECURELY.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use a piece of
scrap wood to make trial cuts before making the cut
with the actual workpiece.
7. Make sure that both the router and switch box are
OFF; then plug the router into the switch box.
8. While firmly holding a piece of scrap wood against
the fence and down against the router table, feed a
piece of scrap wood toward the bit in the direction
shown by the arrow in Fig. 29.
9. Using the switch box, turn the router OFF. If any
adjustments are needed, unplug the power cord and
repeat steps 2–8 until all adjustments are correct.
Once you are satisfied with all settings, make the
cut with the actual workpiece.
