Trimmer guide
006648
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The
guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
Loosen the wing bolts and secure the tool base
horizontally. Install the trimmer guide on the tool base
with the clamp screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B)
and adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer
guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At
the desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to
secure the trimmer guide in place.
