Moulding Natural Timbers; Plunge Cutting - Clarke CR4 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

FEED SPEED
The speed at which the router is moved along the workpiece must not be so
fast that it causes the motor to slow down, or so slowly that the bit starts to
leave burn marks on the timber.
The proper feed rate to use depends on the bit size, the material being cut,
the depth of the cut and the speed selected.
Practice judging the feed speed on scrap timber by listening to the router
during use.

MOULDING NATURAL TIMBERS

Always route the end grain of natural timber first. This will ensure that any
breakout is removed when the long grain is routed.

page 13.
2. With the motor running, press

plunge the cutter into the wood.
