Router Preparation
SUPERJIG - CHAPTER 7
7-1 Fit the e7-Bush
. One is included with your Super Jig.
Some guidebush adaptors may have to be modified to allow adjust-
ment rotation of the e7-Bush in the base. See page 67.
If the e-Bush is incompatible with your router, any "[11,1mm]
guidebush (min. depth ¼" see page 67) will work for all but box
joints on the Superjig.

7-3 When fitting a bit to the router
, fit the shank as far into
the collet
as possible. Always rout with the collet as close to the
guidebush as possible. Usually you can’t securely grip the collet nut
with a wrench
if the collet is at its optimum low position. Fit the
bit so that the remaining travel
➃
between collet and guidebush
➄
will let the bit reach the required depth of cut
.

7-2 Routers used on Super Jigs must have a ½" or 8mm collet
. All Super Jig bits have 8mm shanks. Routers with ½" collets
must use the ½" to 8mm collet reducer
supplied with the jig.
The collet reducer
is inserted in the router collet
(chuck)
and the 8mm shank bit
is inserted in the collet reducer. Routers
with 8mm collets do not require a collet reducer.
