Your router bit depth should match the thickness of
the second board you are cutting, or B2 (Fig. I9).
This is the board that will be joined with the first
board, B1.
7.
To set router bit depth, mark a line (M) Fig. I9 on
B1 using the thickness of B2, as shown.
8.
Place router on template and set router bit depth to
this line (M).
Before making any cuts, be sure you
read your router owner's manual for safe operating
instructions.
9.
To reduce tearout, the first pass (FIg. I10) of each
area to be cut should be from right to left. Only
a light cut is required, no deeper than a 1/4" for
example. For proceeding cuts (Fig. I11), the router
should enter from the left (N) and exit from the
right (O). continue until cutting is complete and the
final cut should resemble Fig. I13.
NOTE: Cut only between angled corners - do not cut
between straight edges as shown in Fig. I12.
