General Routing
(A) Use the insert-plate reducing ring with the smallest opening that allows the
bit to pass through it. (B) Position the fence faces as close as possible to the
bit. Turn the bit by hand to check for interference. Firmly tighten the fence-face
T-knobs before routing. (C) Position the bit guard over the router bit and as close
to the workpiece surface as possible. (D) Feed the workpiece against (not with)
the (E) bit rotation
Reducing Rings
The Kreg Precision Insert Plate includes three reducing rings (#39, #40, #41) for
flexibility in matching the size of the insert-plate opening to the diameter of the
router bit in use. The ring with the rabbeted opening accepts standard Porter-
Cable-style guide bushings, allowing you to use your router table for pattern
routing.To install a reducing ring, simply drop it into the insert-plate opening and
turn it by hand until it drops flush with the plate surface. Insert the pegs at the
ends of the arms on the ring wrench (#42) into the mating holes in the reducer
ring and rotate the ring counterclockwise. Rotation of about ⅜" is sufficient to
lock the ring in place. To remove the ring, turn the wrench clockwise and lift the
ring out of the opening.
Jointing
The independently adjustable fence faces allow you to use your router table as
a vertical jointer. To set up for jointing, remove the two jointing rods (38) stored
in the fence extrusion. Loosen the knobs securing the outfeed fence face. There
are two sets of round channels in the fence extrusion behind the fence faces, that
allow you to offset the outfeed fence face 1/16" or 1/32" from the infeed fence face.
For a 1/16" offset, slide the rods into the shallower recesses. For a 1/32" offset, slide
the rods into the deeper recesses. (When jointing, usually it is best to make light
passes, so you'll probably use the 1/32" offset more frequently than the 1/16" offset.)
With the rods in place, tighten the outfeed fence-face knobs.
Install a straight bit in the router. Placing a steel rule or a piece of wood with a
straight edge against the outfeed fence face, position the fence so the bit just
grazes the rule or the piece of wood. Any straight bit can be used for jointing, but
a flush-trim bit is the easiest to set up. Because the bit guide bearing is the same
diameter as the cutter, you can align the outfeed fence face with the bearing.
An up-cut spiral bit produces an almost chatter-free surface, but is a little more
difficult to align with the fence face.
Use a scrap piece of wood to test the setup. If, as you feed the scrap past the bit,
it runs into the leading end of the outfeed fence face, the fence is too far forward
and you're not removing enough material. Move the fence back a little. If you
get snipe at the trailing edge of the scrap, the fence is too far back, and you're
removing too much material. Move the fence forward.
