8-17 With the router unplugged, install the " [8mm] 140-8
straight or equivalent spiral bit.
Make sure the bit spins freely
within the eBush before reconnecting the power.
8-15 Check the Quick Reference strips for the correct guide
bushing and bit selection for half pitch pins.
Note:
Half pitch
dovetails always use the optional e7 guide bushing and the optional
Leigh 140-8 straight bit. For cleaner routing, use the optional "
Leigh 170 (HSS) or 170C (solid carbide) spiral upcut bit.
8-14 Rout the tails in every template opening.
The eBush
must touch one side of the opening as you enter and the other
side as you exit. Rotate tail board 1 and rout the other end. Repeat
routing for tail board 2. Remove the tail board and backer board.
Disconnect the power and remove the e10 eBush & dovetail bit.
