OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 10. Feeding the Router The secrets to professional routing are a careful set-up for the cut, selecting the proper depth of cut, knowing how the cutter bit reacts in your workpiece, and the rate and direction of feed of the router. a) Direction of Feed-External Cuts External Cuts Feeding the bit from left to right will...
Page 19
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS b) Direction of Feed- Internal Cuts GUIDE OUTSIDE When making an internal cut, such as a groove, dado, or slot, always have the Bit Rotation guide you are using with the router (edge guide, straight edge, or board guide) on the right-hand side of the router as you Thrust make the cut.
Page 20
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 11. Feed rate The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the workpiece, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting shallow grooves in soft woods such as pine, you may use a faster rate of feed. When making deep cuts in hardwoods such as oak, you should use a slower rate of feed.
Page 21
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS With the reduced load on the motor caused by the slow feed, the cutter bit has a tendency to bounce off the sides of the cut in the workpiece, producing a cut with a rippled finish instead of clean straight sides. 12.
