Profile Routing

For creating decorative edges or removing differ-
ent shapes of material out of a workpiece, profile
routing provides a variety of options. For instance,
the Grizzly Model C1409 Ogee Bit (see Figure
39) will produce a pattern like the one below.
Figure 39. Model C1409 Ogee Bit.
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 40).
