▼ GUIDING THE ROUTER
The router can be guided through the
work in any of several ways. The
method you use depends, of course,
on the demands of the particular job
and on convenience.
For routing operations such as
grooving or dadoing, it is often
necessary to guide the tool in a line
parallel to a straight edge. One
method of obtaining a straight cut is
to securely clamp a board or other
straightedge to the work surface, and
guide the edge of the router sub-base
along this path (Fig. 12).
▶ PR102 Edge Guide
The edge guide is an optional
accessory that will guide the router
parallel to a straight edge (Fig. 14).
The edge guide is supplied in two
parts held together with a bolt, wing
nut and washer.
▼ ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE
1. Remove
unscrewing the three screws.
2. Position the adapter in the gap in
the base.
3. Fasten the adapter using the two
Philips screws (Fig. 13).
4. Reattach the subbase.
Note: See
Location" section on how to center
the subbase.
5. Attach the edge guide to the
adapter using the knurled screw
with two washers (Fig. 14).
The guide features a scale for
accurately positioning the edge guide
relative to the bit. With the guide
installed and adjusted, the router
should be fed normally, keeping the
guide in contact with the edge of the
workpiece at all times.
The edge
positioned directly under the router
base for operations where a cut is
needed close to or at the edge of the
work, such as when rounding off deck
planks.
