The Easer
The leading (in feed) and trailing (out feed) “Easer Guides” adjust to vary the depth of
easing from 1/32” to 1/16”. The
“Infeed Easer Guide”
, (the guide the first door
contacts), determines how much wood is removed by exposing more or less of the router
bit. The
“Outfeed Easer Guide”
ensures that the amount eased is consistent all the way
down the edge of the door.
Adjustment for both the top and bottom “Easers” is the same. Start with the
bottom “Easer” first, then the top “Easer”. Before adjusting the bottom “Easer”, remove
the top “Easer” router.
