PLACINGROUTERON WORKPIECE FEEDING PUacing your router on a workpbce differs, depending on the type of routing: edge routing or internaU routing. The "secret" of professional routing and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the cut and in selecting the proper rate of feed. _ RATE OF FEED WARNING: Remain alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate router when fatigued.
DIRECTION (EXTERNAL) See Figure 12. Feeding Too Slow Utis aBo possiMe to spoil a cut by moving the router forward too sbwUy. When it is advanced into the work too sbwUy, a revoMng bit does not dig into new wood fast enough to take a bite; instead, it simpUy scrapes away sawdust-Hke partbbs. Scraping produces heat, which can gUaze, burn, or mar the cut and in extreme cases, can even overheat the bit so as to destroy its hardness. The router motor and bit revolve in a clockwise direction.
