Routing Using the Fence
1. Unplug the rotary tool before making
any fence adjustments or bit changes.
Feed the work against the rotation of the
bit as shown. Most fence cutting is done
with the
SUPPORT WEDGE
adjusted to
the right, where it is in line with the
fence.
(See Fig. 5)
2.
CENTER CYLINDER
of the
GUARD
can
be adjusted up when making cuts using
the fence. Loosen
THUMB NUT,
lift the
cylinder up and secure by tightening
thumb nut.
(See Fig. 6)
3. When shaping small pieces or when
finishing the cut on narrow, long pieces,
use a
PUSH STICK.
Use 1/4” x 2” x 8”
piece of lumber notched as shown to
make this push stick. (As shown) It will
enable you to keep your hands away
from the cutting area.
4. To cut a straight groove, use 5000650
(1/8”) or 5000654 (1/4”). Install the bit
and set the depth of cut using adjusting
screw as shown in Fig. 3. Loosen
WING
NUT
on left end of fence and swing
fence assembly to proper distance from
bit to give desired groove location.
Retighten wing nut. Take a trial cut on
scrap lumber to check depth and
location of groove.
5. When trimming the entire edge of a
workpiece, adjust the
SUPPORT
WEDGE
for support of the workpiece on
the left side of the cutter. First, adjust
the fence to control the amount of cut.
Take a trial cut of about 2” long and
check the amount of cut. Turn rotary
tool off. Loosen
WEDGE CLAMP NUT
and slide wedge to left until wedge
contacts workpiece. Retighten clamp
nut to secure wedge to fence.
Workpiece will not have support on both
sides of the cutter.
