DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS WHEN ROUTER IS MOUNTED TO A ROUTER TABLE See Figure 7. The depth of cut is readable from both sides of the depth indicator ring. The bottom ring is convenient when using your router mounted upside down to a router table. The indicator point on the base can also be used when using your router mounted to a router table.
FREEHAND ROUTING See Figure 9. FREEHAND ROUTING Fig. 9 When used freehand, your router becomes a flexible and versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible to easily rout signs, relief sculptures, etc. There are two basic techniques for freehand routing: • Routing letters, grooves, and patterns into wood.
TOO FAST TO0 SLOW Fig. 10 Your router is an extremely high-speed tool (25,000 RPM no-load speed), and will make clean, smooth cuts if allowed to run freely without the ovedoad of a forced (too fast) feed. Three things that cause "force feeding" are bit size, depth-of-cut, and workpiece characteristics.
To make deeper cutsit is therefore necessary to make as many successive passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8 inch for each new pass. In order to save time, do all the cutting necessary at onedepth setting, before lowering the bitfor the next pass.
STARTING AND ENDING A CUT INTERNAL ROUTING Tilt router and place on workpiece, letting edge of subbase contact workpiece first. Be careful not to let router bit contact workpiece. Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed. Gradually feed cutter into workpiece until subbase is level with workpiece.
