ROUTING GROOVES
See Figure 22.
When routing across the face of boards, set router at
desired depth of cut, place the edge of router base against
workpiece, and turn on your router. Slowly feed the cutter
into the workpiece along desired cutline.
WARNING:
If desired depth of cut is greater
than can be safely cut in one pass, make cuts in two
or more passes.
When routing straight cuts across stock, clamp a
straightedge to the workpiece to use as a guide. Position
the straightedge parallel to the cutline and offset the
distance between the cutting edge of the cutter and the
edge of the router base. Hold the router base against the
straightedge and rout the groove.
When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the
cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutting
line. Position both guides parallel to the desired cutline and
spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the
groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and
rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining waste
in the center of the groove freehand.
