NOTE: Making test cuts is essential with most routing applications. A test cut
will give you a feel for the set-up, the router's speed, the depth of cut, and how
the cutting bit reacts to the workpiece.
INTERNAL ROUTING WITH D-HANDLE BASE (Figs. 28, 28a, 28b and 29)
1. With the depth-of-cut set,
tilt the router and place Fig. 28
it on the workpiece with
only the leading edge of
the sub-base contacting
workpiece (Fig.28).
2. Turn the router motor "ON"
and allow the router motor
to reach the selected
speed, being careful not
to allow the cutting bit to
contact the workpiece.
3. To begin the cut, gradually
lower the router until the
sub-baee is level with the
workpiece to feed the cutting
bit into the workpiece (see
Fig 28a, 28b).
4. When the cut is complete,
turn the router "OFF"
and allow the cutting bit Fig. 29
come to a complete stop
before removing it from
the workpiece.
5. Unplug the routerfrom the
power source, place the
router upside down on the
worktable, and inspect the
finished cut in the workpiece.
_i_ WARNING: Always
securely clamp the workpiece
in place, and keep a firm
grip on the router base with
both hands at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss of control, causing
possibly serious personal injury.
_, WARNING: Removing the cutting bit from workpiece while it is still rotating
could damage the workpiece and result in loss of control, causing serious
personal injury.
