Remember,
knowing the right depth for each cut comes with routing experience.
EDGE ROUTING
(Fig. 11)
1. With the depth-of-cut
set, place the router on the edge of workpiece,
making
sure that the cutter does not contact
the workpiece.
2.
Clamp an edge guide (board or metal straightedge)
in place to help guide the
router base.
3.
4.
5.
Turn the router "On", and allow the motor to build to the full speed selected.
To begin your cut, gradually feed the cutter bit into the edge of the workpiece.
When the cut is complete,
turn the motor "Off" and allow cutter bit come to a
complete
stop before removing
it from the workpiece.
6.
Unplug the router from the power source,
place the router upside down on
the worktable,
and inspect the finished
cut in the workpiece.
_,
WARNING:
Always securely clamp your workpiece
and keep a firm grip on
the router base with both hands at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss
of control,
causing
possibly
serious personal
injury.
A_, WARNING:
Removing the cutter bit from the workpiece
while it is still
rotating could damage the workpiece
and result in loss of control, causing
serious personal injury.
NOTE: Making test cuts in scrap material
that is similar to your workpiece
is essential.
Learning how the router's
speed, depth-of-cut
and cutter bit will react in the workpiece
will
help you produce quality cuts.
INTERNAL
ROUTING
