Ryobi TR45K Using the Woodworking SUB-BASE with Handles, Routing Grooves in a Circle, Workpiece

OPERATION

USING THE WOODWORKING SUB-BASE WITH HANDLES

The woodworking sub-base with handles is convenient when routing 4 in. (101.6 mm), 5 in. (127 mm), or 6 in. (152.4 mm) circular grooves. It can also be used when routing grooves parallel to the edge of the workpiece.

The handles allow you to grasp and hold the trimmer with two hands, similar to grasping and holding a router.

ROUTING GROOVES IN A CIRCLE

See Figure 12.

nThere are three holes marked R2", R2-1/2", and R3" on the sub-base. Each number represents a radius and may be used when cutting circular grooves that are 4 in. (101.6 mm), 5 in. (127 mm) or 6 in. (152.4 mm) in diameter.

nSelect the radius for the desired circle, place a finish- ing nail through the hole and securely tack it into the workpiece. This will create a pivot axis for that size ra- dius.

nRout a circular groove in a clockwise direction only. See the arrow in figure 12.
