STARTING AND ENDING A CUT
INTERNAL
ROUTING
Tilt Router and place on workpiece,
letting edge of
subbase contact workpiece first. Be careful not to let
Router bit contact workpiece. Turn Router on and let
motor build to its full speed. Gradually feed cutter in-
to workpiece until subbase is level with workpiece.
WARNING:
KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON ROUTER WITH
BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES• FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL
LEADING
TO POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY. Upon completion
of cut, turn motor off and let it come to a complete
stop before
removing
Router from
work surface.
WARNING:
NEVER PULL ROUTER OUT OF WORK
AND PLACE UPSIDE DOWN ON WORK SURFACE
BEFORE THE MOTOR STOPS.
P, A TIO
EDGE ROUTING
Place Router on workpiece, making sure the Router
bit does not contact workpiece. Turn Router on and
let motor
build to its full speed.
Begin your cut,
gradually feeding
cutter into workpiece. WARNING:
KEEP A FIRM
GRIP
ON
ROUTER
WITH
BOTH
HANDS AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT
IN
LOSS
OF
CONTROL
LEADING
TO

INJURY.
Upon completion
of
cut, turn motor off and let it come to a complete stop
before removing Router from work surface. WARN.
ING: NEVER PULL ROUTER OUT OF WORK AND
PLACE
UPSIDE
DOWN
ON
WORK
SURFACE
BEFORE THE MOTOR STOPS.
EDGING WITH THE PILOT BITS
The arbor-type
bits with
pilots are excellent
for
quick, easy edge shaping of any workpiece edge that
is either straight or curved at a curvature as great or
greater than the radius of the bit to be used. The pilot
prevents the bit from making too deep a cut; and
holding the pilot firmly in contact with the workpiece
edge throughout
prevents the cut from
becoming
too shallow.
Whenever the workpiece thickness together with the
desired depth of cut (as adjusted by router depth set-
ting) are such that only the top part of the edge is to
be shaped (leaving at least a 1/16 in. thick uncut pot-
tion at bottom), the pilot can ride against the uncut
portion, which will serve to guide it. See Fig. 11.
However, if the workpiece is too thin and/or the bit
set too low so that there will be no uncut edge to ride
the pilot against, any extra board to act as a guide
must be placed under the workpiece.
This "guide"
board must
have exactly
the
same
contour
straight or curved -- as the workpiece edge. If it is
positioned
so
that
its
edge
is
flush
with
the
workpiece
edge, the bit will make a full cut (in as far
as the bit radius). On the other hand, if the guide is
positioned
as
shown
in
Fig.
11 (out
from
the
workpiece
edge), the bit will make less than a full cut
m which will alter the shape of the finished
edge.

NOTE: Any of the piloted
bits can be used without
a
pilot for edge shaping with guides, as preceding. The
size (diameter)
of the pilot that is used determines
the maximum cut width that can be made with the
pilot against the workpiece edge (the small pilot ex-
poses all of the bit; the large one reduces
this
amount by 1/16 inch).
