Milling With The Parallel Guide; Compass Point; Edging Or Profile Milling; Direction Of Milling - Westfalia WOF 1600 Original Instructions Manual

time work down the steps on the stepped depth control stop (9).

Milling with the Parallel Guide

1. Attach the included guide rods to the parallel guide.
2. Insert guide rods of parallel guide (6) into the guides in the base plate.
3. Set the required measurement and tighten both wing screws (7). One of
the bars can be modified into a circle guide with the included attachment.

Compass Point

1. Secure one of the parallel guide rods into the rear channel of the base
plate.
2. Remove the locking nut from the front channel of the parallel guide and
secure it into the additional rod locking point.
3. Loosen the wing screw of the compass point and slide the compass point
onto the rod end.
4. Adjust the point height to suit before locking the wing screw again.
5. Adjust the distance between the router bit and compass point. Now you
can make with the router a circle in the workpiece.

Edging or Profile Milling

1. When edging or profile milling without the parallel guide, the milling cutter
must be fitted with a ball bearing.
2. Guide the machine up to the work-piece from the side and mill in until the
ball bearing of the milling cutter is touching the edge of the work-piece.
3. Guide the machine with both hands along the edge of work-piece,
ensuring that the machine is at a suitable angle. Too much pressure can
damage the edge of work-piece.

Direction of Milling


Milling must always be carried out against the direction of rotation (counter
rotation) of the milling cutter.

Milling in the direction of rotation (parallel rotation) can cause the routing
cutter to be wrenched from the operator's hand (recoil).
