GUIDING ROUTER
The router can be guided through the work in
any of several ways. The method you use
depends, of course, on the demands of the
particular job and on convenience.
STRAIGHT AND CIRCULAR EDGE GUIDE
(Not included, available as accessory)
Use this handy accessory for ease and
accuracy in making curved and straight cuts.
ATTACHING GUIDE
Insert edge guide rods through holes in base,
slide edge guide to desired width as shown in
(Fig. 6), and secure in place with the two wing
screws provided.
One method of locating the guide is to mark
the center of groove to be cut, set the router
flat on the work with the bit just touching and
aligned over the center of groove. Bring the
guide to the edge of the work, and securely
tighten screws. Whenever in doubt about
dimensions, make a trial cut on scrap
material. For guiding along a circular edge,
the notch in the center of the edge guide will
contact the material at the two points shown
(Fig. 7).
BOARD GUIDES
Clamp a straight or curved board onto the
work to form a guide as shown in (Fig. 8). This
is particularly handy for panels or any large
surface area.
