INTRODUCTION Your Craftsman Router Crafter is a newly developed machine which wilt enable you to utilize your router to its fullest--making table legs, turnings, posts, spindles and other turned carvings of almost any design you wish. There are four basic operations which carl be done on your Router Crafter.
C B D ARROW C Figure 4 Figure 3 .................................................. :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "' L BEFOR'E SE'i_TINGUP A WORK PIECE in the Router ..... Crafter, do the following: 1o Refer to Fig. 3. Hold the cap screw "B" in place with the hexagon wrench which is provided and tighten the wing nut "A".. This clamps the plate "C" against the cable drum and locks the cable drum so that it can not rotate.
CENTER HOLE Figure 6 WOOD PREPARATION Sometimes it is difficult to obtain thick wood for making table legs, posts and so forth, but this isn't necessary. If you have thin boards such as 3/4" or 1rt that are smooth, you can put 2, 3, or4 thickness together at one time using Craftsman white glue and ordinary "C" clamps_ Rip the boards to about 1/4" wider than you plan to have final thicknes of the square post..
Figure 9 Figure center enters the chamfered hole in the end of the work piece and you can just barely feel the center touching the bottom of the hole in the work piece° The small nut "B" should still be against the tail stock framer (If it is not, you have turned the tail stock center in too far). With the nut "B" against the tail stock frame and the tail stock center just touching the end of the work piece, tighten the large wing nut ("C") firmly with your fingers.
