Squaring Fence & Table; Table T-Slot - Grizzly T28048 Owner's Manual

Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
•
jointing. Glue deposits on the workpiece,
hard or soft, will gum up the router bit and
produce poor results.
Remove foreign objects from the work-
•
piece. Make sure that any stock you process
with the router is clean and free of dirt, nails,
staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects
that could damage the router bit. These par-
ticles could also cause a spark as they strike
the router bit and create a fire hazard.
Note: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt
surface can have small pieces of concrete or
stone pressed into the surface.
Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried
•
before routing. Wood with a moisture con-
tent over 20% will cause unnecessary wear
on the router bits and poor cutting results.
Excess moisture can also hasten rust and
corrosion.

Table T-Slot

The Model T28048 includes a
num T-slot for attaching router accessories, like a

Squaring Fence &
Table
When using a miter gauge, it is important to make
sure the fence boards are parallel to the table
T-slot. This will help ensure that the workpiece
does not bind or kickback during operation. Use a
fine ruler to make the distance equal between the
fence boards and the T-slot along the full length of
the table (see Figure 36).
To avoid workpiece kickback or binding
when using a miter gauge with this router
table, ALWAYS make sure fence boards are
parallel with table T-slot before beginning
routing operations.
