Routing operations on your Model TL31495
are grouped into three main techniques:
• Jointing an edge (Page 14)
• Groove cutting (Page 15)
• Profile cutting with pilot bits (Page 16)
Jointing an edge:
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a
straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the
edge face of a board. The result is a perfectly flat
and square edge used as the glue edge when
gluing multiple boards together to form a larger
panel.
1.
Secure a straight cutting router bit into your
router according to the router manufacturer’s
instructions.
2.
Snap one of the table inserts into the
recessed hole on the table. Use the insert
with the smallest hole that still allows the bit
free rotation.
3.
Raise the bit to a height equal to that of the
thickness of your board.
4.
Loosen the threaded knob on the pocket
jointing fence and slide the pocket jointing
fence from the main fence to the desired
depth of cut (
Figure 19
). Tighten the thread-
ed knob when adjusted correctly.
Note–The
face of the pocket jointing fence must be par-
allel to the main fence face before performing
any routing operations.
