that the underside of the router table is par
allel to the workpiece surface.
When working with marking-up lines, the
marks on the platen [7-1] and the scale on the
support [7-2] show the centre axis of the cutter.
For a more precise setting, a fine adjust
ment is available as an accessory for the
guide system.

Routing with the beam compasses
With the SZ-OF 1000 beam compasses (acces
sory) you can make circular cuts or segments
of circles with diameters from 153 to 760 mm.
► The beam compasses are pushed into the
front groove of the platen until the desired
radius is set.
► Lock the beam compasses with the rotating
knob [1-4].
To prevent the tip of the compasses
from making a hole in the workpiece,
fix a thin board at the centre point by
means of double-sided adhesive tape.

Copy cutting
A copying ring or the copying device is used to
exactly reproduce existing workpieces (acces
sories).
Copying ring
When choosing the size of the copying
ring [5-1], ensure that the cutter [5-2] being
used fits through its opening.
► Secure the copying ring to the router table
from below in place of the covering
ring [4-1].
Excess Y (figure [5]) of the workpiece to the
template is calculated as follows:
Y = (copying ring diameter - cutter diameter)/2
The copying ring can be exactly centred with the
ZD-OF centring mandrel (accessory).
Copying device
The copying device requires the angle arm WA-
OF [8-2] and the copier scanning set KT-OF,
consisting of a roller support [8-6] and three
copying rollers [8-7].
► Use the rotary knob [8-1] to tighten the an
gle arm to the required height on the threa
ded hole [8-3].
► Fit a copying roller to the roller support and
use the rotary knob [8-5] to tighten it on the
angle arm. Make sure that the copying roll
er and the router have the same diameter.

► The distance between the feeler roller and
the cutter axis can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting wheel [8-4].
8.6
Edge band trimming
Protruding edge bands can be flush trimmed
with the angle arm WA-OF [9-2] in connection
with the guide plate UP-OF [9-5] (accessory).
► Screw the angle arm into the platen's
threaded bore [9-1] with the rotating
knob [9-3].
►
Bolt the guide plate to the angle arm with
the rotating knob [9-4].
► Adjust the milling depth so that this is equal
to the thickness of the edge band + 2 mm.
Move the guide plate [10-1] as close as
►
possible to the cutter by loosening the ro
tating knob [10-3].
► Adjust the depth of the guide plate with the
adjusting wheel [10-2] so that during trim
ming a few decimillimetres of the edge
band are left protruding which can then be
sanded down by hand.
