Maintenance - Makita DRT52 Instruction Manual

NOTE: The workpiece will be cut a slightly different
size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the trimmer bit and the outside of the templet
guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using
the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet
guide - trimmer bit diameter) / 2
Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering.
