GROOVING, FLUTING, AND
VEINING (Figs. 38 and 39)
Disconnect the router
from the power supply
before making adjustments or changing
accessories. Such precautionary safety
measures reduce the risk of unintentional
tool operation.
NOTE: If the outfeed shim plates are installed,
remove before proceeding.
When performing these routing operations,
it is recommended to use the featherboard.
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 vacuum port on the back
of the fence assembly.
1. Install the desired surface forming bit in
the router.
2. Follow the instructions on page 28 to set
the desired depth of cut (location of cut) and
height of cut (Fig. 38). 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 faceplates (19) so that they
provide continuous support of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the clamping knobs and carriage
bolts holding the fence faceplates (19) in
place.
5. Position the featherboard (22), if desired.
See ROUTING USING FEATHERBOARDS
on page 26.
6. Remove the board from the table (1) and
make sure the overhead guard (18) is
securely in place.
NOTE: When making adjustments, use a
piece of scrap wood to make trial cuts before
making the cut with the actual workpiece.

scrap wood toward the bit in the direction
shown by the arrow in Fig. 39.
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.
