USING THE STARTER PIN FOR
CURVED WORK (Figs. 40 and 41)
The starter pin (26) is used instead of the
fence for operations that involve routing
curved workpieces. It should be used only with
bits that have pilot bearings. Thread the
starter pin (26) into the threaded hole in the
table (1) and tighten securely with a slotted
screwdriver (Fig. 40).
Attach the starter pin guard (27) to the table
(1) with a #10-32 x 3/8" truss-head screw (38).
Align the guard with the hole in the table (1) so
it is over the bit, and securely fasten the guard
in place.
•
Always use the starter pin guard when routing
with the starter pin.
•
When using the starter pin, the feed direction
of the workpiece is always right to left across
the front of the bit (Fig. 41).
•
Set the workpiece against the front of the
starter pin and swing it slowly into the bit until
it contacts the pilot bearings and feed it
across the bit to make the cut.
•
While routing, make sure the workpiece is
always in contact with the pilot bearing bit.
Use starter pin guard for
this type of operation. Do
not attempt to rout very small workpieces.
Keep fingers clear of spinning bit.
USING A MITER GAUGE (Fig. 42)
The T-slot miter gauge slot will accommodate
most stationary table saw miter gauges that
measure 3/4" wide x 3/8" deep.
NOTE: For ALL routing operations requiring
the use of the miter gauge with the fence,
BE SURE to align the fence using the scales
on the top of the router table before making
any cuts. Miters can be cut by loosening the
knob on the protractor head, turning the
protractor head up to 60° in either direction,
and retightening the protractor head knob.
Make a test pass with a workpiece before
making a cut to be sure the fence is aligned
correctly. Adjust as required and fasten the
fence securely before making the cut.
