Direction Of Feed
The direction of feed is very
important when routing and can
make the difference between a
successful job and a ruined project.
Figures 11 and 12 show proper
direction of feed for some typical
cuts.
4.
Make your first cut at this
setting.
5.
Rotate the turret
stop so that
the shortest screw
is directly
under the
depth stop bar and
make
your final cut.
NOTE: The third screw in the turret
stop is provided if your cut is even
deeper and you want to make three
cuts to achieve the final depth, or set
final depth for multiple cuts at one
time.
Operation
After setting the
cutting depth as
described, locate
the router such
that the bit is directly over
the place
you will be cutting. With the
router
running, lower the unit smoothly
down into the workpiece. (DO NOT
JAM THE ROUTER DOWN).
When
the tool reaches the pre-set depth,
depress the Plunge Lock Lever.
When you have finished routing,
raise the lever and let the spring lift
the router directly out of the work-
piece.
All common routing tasks can be
performed with ease with the Plunge
Cut Router: Grooving, rabbeting, re¬
cessing, veining, and profiling on all
types of wood and plastic.
Always feed the router opposite
to the direction in which the cutter is
rotating.
Only carbide-tipped cutters
should be used on panels faced with
plastic laminates. The hard lami¬
nates will quickly dull steel cutters.
The direction of feed is important
in router usage. Be sure the cutter is
rotating into the stock by moving left
to right on outside edges and
clockwise on inside cuts.
Mold the outside edge of a piece
of stock by a) mold the end grain,
left to right, b) do the straight grain
side moving left to right, c) finish the
other end grain side, and d) do the
remaining straight grain edge.
