Shaping
Many shaping operations involve
the removal of the entire edge of a
square piece of stock as it is
moved past the cutter. With a
careful offset fence setup, a
shaping operation can
simultaneously straighten or joint
the shaped edge. Hereʼs how:
Install router bit
Set desired depth of cut
Adjust fence gap as
necessary
See Gap Adjustment on page 12.
Set initial fence
position
Unlock the carriage clamp and
slide the fence up to the cutter.
Adjust the location of the fence to
position the outfeed fence in line
with the outermost cutting arc of
the smallest diameter on the cutter,
Fig. 29. A thin straightedge held
against the outfeed fence can be
used to help align the fence with
the smallest diameter of the cutter.

Set the desired fence
offset
Set the desired fence offset by
adjusting the infeed fence
backward. (See Infeed Fence
Adjustment on page 10.) Moving
the infeed fence back about .015”
(

/

turn clockwise with the black
micro adjust knob) should produce
a smooth cut.
