INSTRUCTIONS FOR
C1393-96, C1651
STILE AND RAIL SETS
• Failure to follow these guidelines will result in
serious personal injury.
• ALWAYS WEAR ANSI APPROVED EYE AND EAR
PROTECTION when using this bit.
• Always use a router table when using these bits,
NEVER attempt to use a hand-held router.
• Never feed lumber with the rotation of the cutter.
• Follow the safety guidelines set forth by the
manufacturer of the router and router table.
These router bits have sharp edges. Use care
while removing the waxy protective coating. Never
turn on the router with the protective coating still
on the bit.
• Unplug router before installing or adjusting
cutter.
• Keep all guards and anti-kickback devices in
place.
• Double check bit to insure it is tight and
secure in router.
• Always inspect lumber and other wood materials
for cracks, knots, or other imperfections that
could cause lumber to kick or shatter while mill-
ing.
To get the most from these carbide-tipped stile
and rail bits:
1. For maximum efficiency, secure each bit in a
router and plan all of your cuts to minimize bit
changes (or keep each bit in a separate rout-
er).
2. Adjust the router and
bit in your router
table, so the
bit offers a
full profile in
addition to
about
1
⁄
8
" of
indentation
on the front
edge of the
material. You will be milling your
material back side up, so the indentation
will be at table level. (See the illustration to the
right.)
3. Once the bit is properly adjusted and tightened
in place, use a length of surplus material that is
the same thickness as your workpiece for a
test cut. If you are satisfied with your results,
continue with your project material.engagement
to ensure an equal depth of cut.
