Straight guide
.The straight guide is effectively used for
straight cuts when chamfering or groov-
ing. When grooving, the router tends to
pull away to the left in relation to the
feed direction. Install the straight guide
on the right side
to
assure
a
good finished
cut.
.The straight guide with the guide holder
installs on the router by means of the
thumb bolts A. To obtain the desired dis-
tance between the bit and the straight
guide, turn the fine adjustment screw
(1.5" or 1/16" per turn). Then tighten
the thumb bolt
B
to secure the straight
guide in place.
B y bolting larger pieces
of
wood onto the
straight guide, an even larger (wider)
guide can be obtained as shown.
When using a board-jointing bit, attach
pieces of wood to the straight guide
which have a thickness of more than
15 mm (5/8")
so
that the bit does not
strike the straight guide.
