Shopsmith Mark VII - Routing with Shopsmith

Mark VII Restored Manual - V1.02 – Donated without cost to the world-wide Shopsmith Community - Everett L. Davis 2016 32
A good assortment of three-lip Shaper Cutters is
available. (Fig. 60) Some have profiles which will
reproduce standard molding or joint forms. Others are
combination cutters which afford a virtually unlimited
variety of shapes by making several passes with the
same cutter, changing depth of cut or height of cutter
after each pass, or by combining partial cuts with
several cutters.
ROUTING WITH SHOPSMITH
SHOPSMITH makes it easy to do routing operations.
The rip fence is an excellent guide for straight routing
(Fig. 61). SHOPSMTH'S large table area affords
excellent support for oversize pieces. The miter gauge
can be used for routing cross grain and it may be
locked in position for stop routing. In addition, the
countersunk hole at the free end of the miter gauge
may be utilized for mounting a pin; thus you can do
pivot routing.
Because of the side thrust which is developed, router
bits should be held only in the special router chuck.
