Template Guides, Router BIT Depth | Porter-Cable 4212 (29550)

TEMPLATE GUIDES

Use the correct template guides provided with this unit to guide the router against the template fingers. To determine the proper guide for a given joint, place the template guide in the slot on the left side of the corresponding template. The guide should have a snug fit in the slot.

ROUTER BIT DEPTH

DISCONNECT THE ROUTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES OR ADJUSTMENTS!

The depth-of-cut for the router bits is critical for a good-fitting joint. The 4200 series jigs have patented router bit depth guides that allow the user to quickly and easily set the bit to the correct depth without measuring.

Rest the router on the left side of the template and gently lower the router bit until it touches the guide. Multiple depth guides are provided on the jig because different joints require different depth settings.

NOTE: Attach the templet guide (with the lock nut) and the bit to your router using the instructions in your router’s operating manual.

Step 1 - Step 2 -

Step 3 - Step 4 -

Lower the bit just past the edge of the templet guide (Fig. K1).

Use the slot with the corresponding scribed text on the template that matches the joint you will cut (Fig. K2).

Place the router on the template with the guide and bit in the selected slot (Fig. K3). Lower the router bit (A) Fig. K4 on the depth guide (B) and lock the position on your router.
