the bit the same distance as desired depth-
of-cut (see Figure 43).

Routing Small Stock

Feeding small stock past the router bit increases
the risk of kickback from the workpiece slipping
into the space between the fence and bit. If you
must rout small stock, use a zero-clearance fence
board. This will provide greater protection for the
operator, better workpiece support, and reduced
tearout on narrow or fragile stock.
To make a zero-clearance fence:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove fence boards from fence assembly.
3. Select piece of straight and smooth stock that
is same height and thickness as fence boards
and approximately 24" long.
4.
Cut outline of spindle and router bit from cen-
ter of the stock selected in Step 3, as shown
in Figure 44.
Note: Make outline as close as possible to
router bit and spindle without interfering with
rotation.
