Using The Multi-Stop Turret; Changing The Spindle Speed; Feed Direction - Clarke CR4 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

USING THE MULTI-STOP TURRET

The multi-stop turret can be used to assist in making multiple passes. Using the
turret in this manner removes the necessity for resetting the depth stop for
each pass. Each stop on the turret is approximately 3 mm.
1. With the total depth set and the
router raised fully, turn the turret to
its highest position.
2. Make the first pass across the
wood.
3. Rotate the turret to a lower setting
and make the second pass.
4. Repeat this until the final cut is
made.

CHANGING THE SPINDLE SPEED

The router speed is infinitely variable
from 8000 to 23000 rpm.
1. Turn the speed control to the
required setting.
• Generally, the larger the
diameter of the bit, the slower
the tool speed should be
• The correct setting will also
depend on the density of the
material being cut, the feed
speed and the depth of cut.
2. It is advisable to make practice cuts on a piece of scrap timber to
determine the best speed as a large loss of RPM will overload the motor.

FEED DIRECTION

Remember that the direction the bit
is fed into the wood must always be
against the direction of rotation as
shown in the diagram on the right.
This ensures a quality finish and also
ensures that the cutting action pulls
the router into the wood.
