EDGE CUTTING WITH NONPILOTED
ROUTER BITS (Figs. 26 and 27)
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT
THE ROUTER IS TURNED OFF AND THE POWER
CORD IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS.
NOTE: If the jointing shim is installed, remove it
before proceeding.
When using nonpiloted router bits, the fence is used to
set the depth of cut. For deep cuts, do not try to cut the
total depth all in one pass. Repeat the cut, taking
multiple smaller cuts.
1. Install the desired bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 26 to set the desired
depth of cut and height of cut (Fig. 26). Make sure
that the fence and router are SECURELY in place.
3. Position both fence facings so that they clear the bit
by 1/4".
4. Tighten the four clamping knobs holding the fence
facings in place.
5. Position the featherboards, if desired. See
ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARDS on page 25.
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. 27.
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.
