OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROUTER TABLE
ROUTING WITH THE FENCE
The fence supports and guides the workpiece. To
provide the best support during routing operations,
the fence facings should be as close to the bit as
possible without contacting the bit (typically, about
1/4 in. from the bit is a suitable distance).
30. Adjusting the Fence Forward and Backward
a. Loosen the three clamping knobs.
b. Move the fence assembly forward or backward
along the slots to the desired position.
c. Tighten the clamping knobs in desired location.
NOTICE:
• For deep cuts, make successive passes and
NEVER cut more than 1/8 inch deep with a
single pass.
• For wider cuts, make multiple cutting passes by
progressively moving the fence backward until
the desired width of cut is reached.
31. Adjusting the In-feed and Out-feed Fence
Laterally
The in-feed (S) fence and out-feed (T) fence can
each be adjusted laterally to lengthen the fence.
a. Loosen the four wing nuts.
b. Move the fence facings to the right or left to the
desired position.
c. Tighten the wing nuts.
WARNING
• Always make sure that the fence and guard
cannot come in contact with the router bit. Failure
to do so will result in damage to the router table
and can cause personal injury.
32. Adjusting the Out-feed Fence for Joining
For joining operations, the out-feed fence (T) can
be adjusted up to 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) forward of the
in-feed fence (S) to support the workpiece after it
passes across the router bit.
a. Loosen the clamping knob on the out-feed fence.
b. Move the out-feed fence forward of the in-feed
fence (T) to a distance equal to the width of material to be removed from the workpiece.
c. Loosen the fence wing nuts. Slide both fence faces toward the bit to minimize the space
between the faces and router bit. Securely tighten the wing nuts.
d. Loosen the knob on the in-feed fence, then move and clamp the entire fence so that the
front of the out-feed fence face is aligned with the front of the router bit. Use a straight
edge if necessary.
