Using Straight Guide for Interior
Cuts
1. Follow instructions for Straight Guide
setup on Page 14, but adjust to allow
bit to cut an interior slot.
Note: When cutting interior slots,
router will tend to follow wood
grain. Keep constant pressure, pull-
ing straight guide into workpiece.
2. Make sure there is enough excess
material at end of cut to support
straight guide. If guide slips off end of
workpiece, it will wander off of desired
line. You may wish to add a longer
piece of wood to workpiece for straight
guide to follow.
3. Follow the instructions in Routing
Operations on Page 13 to make the
desired cut, as shown in Figure 14.

and adjust guide until outer bit aligns
with marked circle.
