TOO FAST TOO 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 overload 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 inchfor each new pass. in order to save time, do all the cutting necessary at onedepth setting, before lowering the bitfor the next pass. This will also assure a uniform depth when thefinalpass is completed.
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.
FREEHAND ROUTING See Figure 15. FREEHAND ROUTING ._ r..._k--.---- _ F_g. 15 When used freehand, your router becomes a flexible and versatile tool.
