FEEDING THE WORKPIECE ON A ROUTER

TABLE

Always use your router table's fence or starter pin and the appropriate guard and follow the router table's instruction manual. ALWAYS feed the workpiece from right to left across the front of the bit. On Bosch router tables, the correct feed direction is also shown on fence housing and on the featherboards, when they have been properly installed. (Fig. 21)

Whenever possible, when using the fence, use a push stick to push the workpiece, especially when working with narrow pieces.

For complete instructions on operation of a router in a router table, please refer to the instructions that come with the router table.
