Trimmer guide

Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for fur- niture and the like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.

Install the trimmer guide on the tool base with the clamp screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm or about 3/64" per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure the trimmer guide in place.

When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the workpiece.
