Safety Reminder
❐
Whenever using large diameter vertical or horizontal panel raising bits
or any other large diameter bit, always follow that router bit
manufacturerʼs operation and safety recommendations.
❐
Whenever it is necessary to remove large amounts of stock, always
use multiple side-by-side passes to achieve the final cut. Several
shallow cuts are safer and will yield better results.
Vertical Panel Raising
The introduction of the vertical panel
raising bit has made cutting this all-
important component of frame and panel
construction a relatively simple operation
for the router table. Youʼll find your
INCRA TWIN with its built-in dust
collection, adjustable fence gap, and
Hi-Rise fence cap perfect for this
operation. The setup is as follows:
Install vertical panel
raising bit and set
appropriate depth of cut
Adjust fence gap as
necessary
See gap adjustment on page 12.
Attach the Hi-Rise fence
cap
Use a straightedge to adjust the cap in
line with the front of the fence. (see
Fig. 6 on page 5.)
Sneak up on the final
width of the cut
Do not make the full width of the cut in a
single pass. Instead, use several light
side-by-side passes, moving the fence
back

" or so after each pass.

Joint Making
Joint making represents one of the
most exciting applications for your
INCRA TWIN. Just by applying a little
technique to the accuracy of the TWIN,
youʼll be able to add joinery for box
and drawer making to your list of shop
skills. The INCRA
Master Reference
Guide & Template Library included in
the INCRA TWIN system package is a
complete source book for joinery,
including step-by-step instructions for
box joints, half-blind dovetails, through
dovetails, the INCRA double dovetail
and the double-double box joint.
A zero clearance
subfence will greatly reduce
tearout and increase support
for all cutting operations. See
page 12 for information on how to
make and use this handy item. To
use the fence cap in conjunction
with a zero clearance subfence,
mount the cap upside down with
the T-slot still facing forward.
