Routing circles using the MFS
routing template
Description
By using the MFS 400 or the MFS 700 templates, radii (1), round cutouts (2)
and circles (3) can be made easily and quickly.
Applications: loudspeaker enclosures, transparent cutouts, counters,
wash basins, ...
The largest radius that can be routed, depending upon the particular MFS,
can be found from the table. However, the cutter dia. and the type of radius
that is to be produced must be taken into consideration!
A
No. 530
MFS 400
Reference dimension (mm) Calculation
Max. outer radius 306 306 + cutter diameter / 2
Max. inner radius 306 306 – cutter diameter / 2
Max. outer radius 37 37 + cutter diameter / 2
Min. inner radius 37 37 – cutter diameter / 2
MFS 700
Reference dimension (mm) Calculation
Max. outer radius 606 606 + cutter diameter / 2
Max. inner radius 606 606 – cutter diameter / 2
Max. outer radius 37 37 + cutter diameter / 2
Min. inner radius 37 37 – cutter diameter / 2
Example: For a 12 mm dia. router
bit, the following radius values are
produced:
MFS 400 MFS 700
Max. radius (mm)
Outer 312 612
Inner 300 600
Min. radius (mm)
Outer 43 43
Inner 31 41
