Step 6 - Loosen the #10 wood screws, align the template lines with the line where the pin board and tail board meet, and retighten the #10 wood screws (Fig. 16F).

DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

Step 7 - Set the router bit depth, using the bit depth guide.

USING A ROUTER TABLE

You can use board-mounted templates with your router table. However, the templates must be inverted. Similarly, invert all operations (setting the router bit, etc.).

Use protective handles to keep your hands away from the router bit. Grip the handles only on the opposite side of the workpiece.

Make the protective handles using the dimensions in the drawing (Fig. 17B). Round over the ends of the handles so that they are comfortable in your hands.
