OPERATION
ROUTING WITH OPTIONAL
ROLLER GUIDE
See Figures 26 and 27.
An optional roller guide is available for use with your router.
It is useful for routing uneven edges and trimming laminates.
The roller guide attaches to the guide holder as shown in
figure 26. It can be adjusted in and out as well as up and down.
The rollerguide rides against the uncutedge oftheworkpiece.
When routing a decorative groove along an uneven edge, the
distance from roller guide to cutter should be the same as the
distance from the desired cut and the edge of the workpiece.
Fine adjustments can be made with the edge guide adjust-
ment knob on guide holder. Tighten wing bolts securely.
When routing, keep roller pressed tight against edge of
workpiece. Carefully follow desired line of cut so that the
distance between the cut and the edge does not vary.
When trimming laminates with the roller guide, use a straight
cutting bit or a roundnose bit. Position the roller guide even
with the inside cutting edge of router bit. The roller guide
follows the edge of the workpiece while the bit trims off the
overhanging laminate. See Figure 27.
