W1736 Overarm Router

Using Table Pins

The table pins are provided so you can use your router as a "Pin Router" (see Figure 17). Three double-sided table pins are included with your overarm router in the follow- ing sizes: 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2".

With a table pin installed, the operator can use a pre- routed pattern jig to easily replicate a pattern onto a workpiece that is clamped to the jig. See Figure 18 for details.

To use a table pin, do these steps:

1.Select the table pin size that matches the pre-rout- ed groove in your jig. (These instructions assume that you have done your own research on building template jigs, and that you have built a jig before attempting this operation.)

2.Insert the table pin into the hole in the center of the table.

3.Make sure the shoulder on the table pin is flush with the table top, and tighten it with the pin lock knob.

4.Place the pattern of your pre-routed jig over the table pin, and make sure the pattern moves freely over the table pin and does not bind or stop.

5.Adjust the plunge depth just beyond the thickness of the workpiece you will clamp onto the jig.

6.Start the router, plunge the router bit into the workpiece, and guide the jig along the pre-routed channel in the bottom to cut the workpiece clamped to the top.
