SEcTION 3: OpERATIONS
Operation Overview
this overview outlines the basic process that hap-
pens during an operation with the router table.
Familiarize yourself with this process to better
understand the remaining parts of the operation
section.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting, and ensures the router is
correctly mounted.
2. adjusts the bit height for the desired cutting
profile.
3. adjusts the fence position to establish the
depth of cut.
4. Verifies that the fence boards are close
enough to the bit for maximum workpiece
support. adjusts the board positions or modi-
fies their thickness as needed.
5. Wears safety glasses and a respirator, and
locates push sticks if needed.
6. if using a reversible router, verifies that the
direction of spindle rotation is correct.
7. Starts the router.
8. holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against
the fence, and then pushes the workpiece
into the bit at a steady and controlled rate
until the workpiece moves completely beyond
it.
Important: the operator is very careful to
keep the workpiece firmly against the table
and fence during the entire cut. For smaller
workpieces or odd-shaped workpieces, a
zero-clearance fence or jig is used.
9. Stops the router.
