Edge Jointing
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a
straight cutting router bit to remove wood from the
face of the board. The result is a perfectly flat and
square edge.
To joint edge of a workpiece:
1. DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!
2. Secure straight cutting bit into router accord-
ing to router manufacturer's instructions.
3. Install smallest table insert into mounting
plate that still allows router bit to freely rotate.
4. Raise bit to a height slightly more than that of
workpiece, then rotate it by hand until cutting
flute (cutting edge) is perpendicular to fence
boards.

Feed Direction
Bit
Rotation
Always feed workpiece against router bit
rotation direction, as illustrated below.
Otherwise, workpiece could be aggressive-
ly pulled from your hands, drawing them
into spinning cutter.
When using a miter gauge, the fence assembly
must be parallel to the table T-slot for safe and
accurate cutting results. Use a fine ruler to make
the distance equal between the fence assembly
and the T-slot along the full length of the table
(see
Figure 34).
Kickback injury may occur if fence is not
parallel with T-slot. When using a miter
gauge with this router table, ALWAYS
make sure fence assembly is parallel with
table T-slot BEFORE beginning routing
operations.
