Installing Router Bits
1. When installing router bits, be sure the
power cord is unplugged, then remove the
tool from the Shaper/Router Table. Fit the
router bit shank into the collet allowing a
maximum of 5/8" to protrude past the collet
nut. Use the shaft button on your rotary tool
and wrench to secure the bit. (See Fig. 4)
2. Loosen the clamp knob and turn the
depth adjustment screw to set cutting
depth. Depth of cut will be the amount the
bit extends above the shaper/router table.
Cutting Depth Adjustment
Adjustment markings on the side of the tool
holder facing outward are marked in inches
and millimeters. View the markings prior to
starting your project. Turn the depth
adjustment screw to set desired depth. To
ensure proper settings, rout and measure cut
on scrap material. (See Fig. 5)
Router Feed Direction
The router spindle turns in a counter clockwise
direction when viewed from above the table.
For best control and quality of cut, feed the
work into the bit in the direction that the bit will
tend to pull the work to the fence. (Incorrect
feed direction will result in the bit trying to pull
the wood through faster than you want. This is
called climb cutting.) Feed the workpiece from
right to left as shown. Feed direction is
extremely important when using a pilot bit
freehand on the edge of a workpiece as well
as when using the fence with all bits. (See Fig. 6)
Routing Table Tips
1. Wrong Direction – Hard to control.
2. Feeding too fast – Overloads motor.
3. Dull bit – Overloads motor.
4. Cutting too large or deep in one pass –
Overloads motor.
5. Feeding too slow – Leaves friction burns
on work.
