GROOVING, FLUTING, AND VEINING
(Figs. 30 and 31)
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE
ROUTER IS TURNED OFF AND THE POWER CORD
UNPLUGGED BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS.
NOTE: If the jointing shim is installed, remove it
before proceeding.
When performing these routing operations, the use of
featherboards and a push shoe is recommended.
For best results and maximum accuracy, the side of the
workpiece that will be against the fence must be square
and straight.
If you are using a wet/dry vac, it should be connected
to the vac port on the back of the table cabinet.
1. Install the desired end-cutting bit in the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 26 to set the desired
depth-of-cut (location of cut) and height-of-cut
(Fig. 30). Make sure that the fence and router
are SECURELY in place.
IMPORTANT: For deep cuts, do not try to cut the
total depth (controlled by the router bit height) all in
one pass. Repeat the cut, taking smaller cuts until
the desired depth is reached.
3. Position both fence facings so that they provide
continuous support of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the four clamping knobs holding the fence
facings in place.
5. Position the featherboards, if desired. See
ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARDS on page 25.
6. Remove the board from the table and lower the
overhead guard to the operating position.
Tighten the guard clamping knobs SECURELY.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use a piece of
scrap wood to make trial cuts before making the cut
with the actual workpiece.
7. Make sure that both the router and switch box are
OFF, then plug the router into the switch box.
8. While firmly holding a piece of scrap wood
against the fence and down against the router
table, feed a piece of scrap wood toward the bit in
the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 31.
9. Using the switch box, turn the router OFF. If any
adjustments are needed, unplug the power cord and
repeat steps 2–8 until all adjustments are correct.
Once you are satisfied with all settings, make the cut
with the actual workpiece.
