Alternative Guide Method

You can make a straight cut which does not parallel the edge of the workpiece by clamping
down a temporary guide.

1.

Clamp a suitable straight board across the workpiece

parallel to the desired location of the cut.

2.

Assemble the Straight Guide Assy. (44) with the Straight

Guide (442) facing outward and up, as shown to the right.

3.

After measuring the proper distance from the router bit to

the guide, tighten the straight guide using the thumbscrew
Knobs.

4.

On a piece of scrap material make a test cut to ensure that

your measurement is correct.

5.

Using the Straight Guide to follow the straight board, make your cut parallel to the

guide.

Making Circle Cuts

The center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44), shown above, can be used as a pivot
point to make circle cuts.

1.

Install the Straight Guide Assy as shown above.

2.

Drill a small pilot hole at the center point of the circle you wish to cut.

3.

Set the distance from the center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44) to the router bit

equal to the radius of the circle you wish to cut. Lock the Straight Guide in place with
the thumbscrew Knobs.

4.

Insert a pin (not included) through the center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy., and

into the pilot hole.

5.

With the pin located in the pilot hole, plunge the trimmer into the workpiece, and rotate

the trimmer in a circle around the pilot hole.

Using the Trimmer Guide Assembly

1.

Assemble the edge Trimmer Guide Assembly (42),

as shown to the right, and attach to the Base (32).

2.

Since you will be trimming in relation to both the

top surface, and the edge surface, you must adjust
the trimmer to cut accurately in two dimensions.

3.

Adjust the Base on the Trimmer so the cutting

depth will be flush with the surface of the counter
top or edge that you will be trimming to match.

4.

Adjust the Trimmer Guide Assy. so that the roller is below the router bit by

approximately 3/4” to 1.”  Tighten it in position using Thumbscrew (39).
