Always disconnect power to the machine when setting up or making adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
The process for completing your rail end cuts is roughly the same as those for your stile and rail cuts. The main concern is ensuring that the amount of reveal at the front edge of your rail matches the cuts made in your stiles.
To complete your end rail cuts:
1. Adjust your router and | FENCE | |

A ball bearing is supplied with these router bits which allow the use of templates for curved work as seen to the right.
Using a template:
1. The tem- plate should be the same size as the expected finished panel.
2.The curved portion of the workpiece should be rough cut so that no more than 1⁄8" pro- trudes beyond the template.
3.The fence and miter must be removed when using a template. A starting pin or block must be installed as shown in Figure 2.
