Profile Routing
To cut a profile into a workpiece:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Secure bit in router according to router manu-
facturer's instructions.
3.
Raise router bit to desired height, then adjust
fence so it sits behind the bit the same dis-
tance as desired depth-of-cut (see Figure
53).

Routing Small Stock
Feeding small stock past the router bit increases
the risk of kickback from the workpiece slipping
into the space between the fence and bit. If you
must rout small stock, use a zero-clearance fence
board. This will provide greater protection for the
operator, better workpiece support, and reduced
tearout on narrow or fragile stock.
To make a zero-clearance fence:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove infeed/outfeed fences from fence
base.
3.
Select piece of straight, smooth stock that is
same height and thickness as infeed/outfeed
fences and approximately 36" long.
4.
Cut outline of spindle and router bit from cen-
ter of the stock selected in Step 3, as shown
in Figure 54.
Note: Make outline as close as possible to
router bit and spindle without interfering with
rotation.
5.
Create countersunk mounting holes in zero-
clearance fence board (see Figure 54) to
secure new fence and router bit guard to
base.
