The speed and depth of cut will depend largely on the type of material being worked upon. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not crowd the router so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods or problem materials to make more than one pass at various settings to get the desired depth of cut.
When making cuts on all four edges of the workpiece, it is advisable to have the first cut on the end of the piece across the grain. Thus, if chipping of wood occurs at the end of a cut, it will be removed when making the next cut parallel with the grain.
THE EDGE GUIDE
An Edge Guide is available as an accessory to aid in routing operations such as: straight edge planing, parallel grooving, dado or slotting operations.
To assemble, insert guide rods (A) in holes in base, Fig. 9 and secure with screws (B). The guide (C) is adjusted on the rods and secured in desired position with thumb screws (D).
TEMPLET GUIDES
A wide variety of templet guides are available for use in pattern and templet routing operations. Fig. 10 shows a typical combination bit, templet guide, and locknut.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install, insert templet guide in center hole in router base and secure in place with the locknut.
BEFORE CONNECTING ROUTER TO POWER SOURCE: Install bit, adjust depth of cut, and rotate router chuck by hand to be sure bit or collet do not contact templet guide.
