Groove Cutting

Groove cutting produces a groove or bead into the face of the board.

To cut a groove into the face of the workpiece, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!

2.Secure the bit into the router according to the router manufacturer's instructions.

3.Install the smallest table insert into the table that still allows the bit to freely rotate.

4.Make sure both fence boards are even with one another and secured to the fence assembly.

5.Raise the bit to the desired height, then adjust the fence assembly so that the fence boards are behind the bit the same distance as the desired depth-of- cut (see the illustrations in Figures 21–22).

6.Lock the fence assembly in place, tighten all knobs, connect the router to power, then perform the cut.
