2.It is very important to pass the router across the workpiece so the bit is rotating opposite the feed direction as shown in Figure 11. If the cutters are moving in the same direction you are feeding the router, you are perform- ing a “climb cut.” This is a very dangerous operation because the router could lunge forward out of your hands, causing serious personal injury.

3.Finally, it is important to remove material in multiple passes at incrementally deeper depths. The depth stop and round depth stop turret are designed to perform this func- tion efficiently.

Discussing every possible procedure that can be perform with a router is beyond the scope of this manual. We recommend seeking out your local library or newsstand for trade books, instructional videos or magazine articles that go further into depth on the uses for a router.

Guide Bushing

The guide bushing allows the router to follow a precut template pattern that has been attached to the top of the workpiece. When the bushing is installed onto the base of the router, the lip that protrudes from the bottom of the router base rides along the edge of a template while the 1⁄4" straight router bit routes the edge of the workpiece. The template must be at least as thick or thicker than the distance the bushing lip protrudes from the base. Adjust the depth of the bit so you achieve the desired depth of cut when taking into consid- eration the thickness of the template. Remember to make multiple passes if you are removing a lot of material.

Bit Centering Gauge

The bit centering gauge is designed to keep the vertical center-line of the router bit flush with the edge of the workpiece. A good example of a use- ful operation for this attachment would be making rabbet cuts on the edge of the workpiece. If you use a 1⁄2" straight bit along with the bit centering gauge, you can make 1⁄4" rabbets on the edge of the workpiece.
