ADJUSTING DEPTH AND HEIGHT
OF CUT (Fig. 29)
1. Select a board that is smooth and straight,
with good square edges.
2. Mark lines "A" and "B" on the end of the
board, as shown in Detail 29.
, Line "A" indicates the desired height
of cuL
, Line "B" indicates the desired final depth
of cuL
, The area outlined by "A_'"B," and the edge
of the board is the area that will be cut
away.
3. If the desired depth of cut can be cut in
a single pass, loosen the fence clamping
knobs (21) and move the fence forward or
backward until the outermost cutting edge
of the router bit is aligned with line "B."
NOTE: For deeper cuts, DO NOT attempt
to make the cut in a single pass. Make
multiple shallower cuts, progressively
moving the fence backward until the
desired depth of cut is reached.
4. Use the scales on the tabletop (1) as a
guide to align the fence; then SECURELY
tighten both fence clamping knobs (21).
I _WARNING I Always make sure that the
fence and guard cannot
come in contact with the router bit. Failure
to do so will result in damage to the router
table and can cause personal injury.
5. Following the instructions that came with your
router, adjust the router height of cut until the
top of the router bit lines up with line "A:'
6. Once all adjustments have been made,
double-check that:
, The router is SECURELY tightened in
the router base.
, The router bit is SECURELY tightened in
the router collet, with at least 3/4-in. shank
engagement.
, The router base is SECURELY tightened
to the bottom of the router table.
