For accuracy in routing
and improved control, the
workpiece should be held against the
router table fence when routing.
ADJUSTING THE FENCE
FACEPLATES (Fig. 28)
The right and left fence faceplates are
attached to the front face of the router table
fence and can be adjusted inward or outward
from the router bit to allow proper clearance
for different-sized bits. To provide the best
support during routing operations, the fence
faceplates should be as close to the bit as
possible without being able to come in contact
with the bit (typically about 1/4" from the bit is
a suitable distance).
1. Loosen the clamping knobs (21) and
carriage bolts (45) securing each fence
faceplate (19) and slide the faceplates
inward or outward from the router bit as
needed.
Always hold the
workpiece against the
router table fence when routing. Such
precautionary safety measures increase the
accuracy in routing and improve the control of
the workpiece reducing the risk of personal
injury.
2. Once the fence faceplates (19) are in
the desired position, tighten the clamping
knobs (21) and carriage bolts (45)
SECURELY.
USING THE BIT HEIGHT GAUGE
(Fig. 29)
The bit height gauge allows you to measure
the depth of the cut the bit will make in the
workpiece. Use the following steps to adjust
and set a predetermined cutting depth of
the bit.
1. Position the bit height gauge (28) flat on the
tabletop (1) over the router bit. The top of
the bit should be in contact with the gauge
pointer (29) on the bit height gauge.
2. Adjust the bit height to the desired cutting
depth of the bit. The bit height will be shown
on the outside edge of the bit height gauge.
3. Secure the bit at the desired cutting depth,
remove the bit height gauge, and prepare
the workpiece for cutting.
NOTE: Be sure fence and overhead guard
are in place before routing.
