2. Adjust depth of cut (material you want to remove)
and router bit height as described before. Tighten
both large knobs to lock fence on table. Tightly
secure the router. (MAKE SURE ROUTER IS
UNPLUGGED WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS).
3. Test cut a piece of scrap wood to make sure your
adjustments are satisfactory.
NOTE: Feed work in the direction of arrow shown
on label on frontside of unitized fence
(when facing table front).
4. The router table is now ready for use.
NOTE: If you have purchased a MOLD MAKER
BIT SET (Sears Craftsman 21 255) for
making moldings on your router table, set
the unitized fence in EDGE CUTTING
MODE for making the first cut on your
workpiece using Bit #25527. See Fig. #22.
WITH PILOTED TYPE BITS
Fig. #22
When bits with pilots are used to control the cutting
depth:
1. Position the jointing fence in the same manner as
with non-piloted bits.
2. Move the unitized fence back only enough to per-
mit the pilot to control the cutting depth. Position-
ing the unitized fence as close to the pilot as
possible will serve as a back-up, and will help pre-
vent chances of an accident, and possible personal
injury. See Fig. #23.
NOTE: If you have purchased RAIL AND STILE
CUTTERS (Sears Craftsman 21 257) for
making cabinet door frames on your router
table, MAKE SURE THAT FRAME THICK-
NESS is not more than 3/4". If frame thick-
ness is more than 3/4", the top of the bit,
as shown in Fig. 'A' of Rail and Stile Cut-
ters instructions, will interfere with retract-
able guard on your unitized fence. See Fig.
#24 and Fig. #19.
Door Frame Thickness
Must Not Be More

than 3/4"
USING ROUTER TABLE FOR END CUTTING
When routing on ends of workpiece for making tenons,
sliding dovetails and tongue and groove joints, the work-
piece must be made smooth with both edges and ends
made true to each other and its surfaces.
NOTE: The push block and clamp plate assembly will
not accommodate workpiece wider than 4".
EXAMPLE: CUTTING TENONS
1. Make certain that jointing fence is locked in posi-
tion with its face flush with that of unitized fence.
2. Mount push block assembly on unitized fence as
shown before in Figs. #12a and #12b.
3. Install proper table insert into the table top hole.
4. Mark lines 'A' and 'B' on the edge of the workpiece
close to the end to be out. Line 'A' for FULL DEPTH
OF CUT (total amount of. material you want to
remove) and line 'B' for FULL DESIRED HEIGHT
OF TENON. See Fig. #25.
