- Page 2 Feed Direction Router top (top view) Always feed the workpiece against the cutter rotation, as shown in Figure 1. Feeding the workpiece with the cutter rotation is called “climb cutting”. Climb cutting is very Router bit rotation dangerous, because the cutter will grab the workpiece and thrust it the same direction as the cutter rotation. Even small router bits will overpower your ability to hold onto Fence the workpiece during a climb cut. Do not use this router table until you understand Workpiece proper feed direction and bit rotation. If climb cutting is still unclear, ask your retailer for help, give us a call, or reference a book on router table usage. CAUTION: NEVER CLIMB CUT! Proper feed direction Fig. 1 - A typical setup. Here, the fence is partially Avoiding Fence Traps covering the router bit. Fence traps occur when the work piece is fully “trapped” between the router bit and fence. Fence traps pose two real concerns: the possibility of climb feeding, and human AVOID! exposure to the router bit. As stated earlier, climb cutting should be avoided as loss of control of the operation is a possibility! Fence Figure 2 shows a classic trap to be avoided. What appears as a normal feed direction (working from right Workpiece to left) is wrong, and will instead produce a climb cut. Because the work piece is trapped it can easily be pulled from one’s grip and thrown with great velocity. Feeding the stock from left to right will eliminate the climb cut but Bit rotation Proper feed not the danger. It will be difficult to keep the stock tight direction against the fence as the bit’s rotation will thrust the stock away from the fence. Also, your body will be dangerously exposed to the spinning...
- Page 3 B. “Zero Clearance” Setting Cutting the subfences into the router bit profile produces “zero clearance”. Zero clearance eliminates the gap between the fence and router bit. This prevents the workpiece from getting pulled into the fence just before the router bit. Moreover, a zero clearance setting achieves a cleaner cut because the subfence supports the workpiece fibers. If a true zero clearance setting is desired, follow these steps: 1. Adjust the bit height and fence position. Note: The subfences must NOT contact the router bit at this time. 2. Install the bit guard and secure. 4. Start router, and use dust collection.
