Across grain routing with the mitre
fence
The mitre fence will be required to give extra
support for routing small workpieces or ends of
large workpieces.
It is advisable to fit a waste piece of material to
the mitre fence or behind the component to
prevent break-out of the wood grain.
If using mitre fence to trim the end off a piece of
material, the workpiece support can be brought
forward with the cutter to support the workpiece
after the cut.
IMPORTANT!
Align back fence with the mitre
bar slot before using mitre
fence.
Stopped Moulding
Right hand (A) and left hand (B) stops,
constructed from scrap timber, must be attached
to the back fence using clamps. These stops
limit the movement of the workpiece, and should
be set to suit the required stopped mould length.
1.
Swing in the workpiece around the corner
(C) keeping the workpiec edge (D) up
against the right hand stop (A), until the
router cutter plunges into the workpiece.
2.
Rout the complete length of the workpiece,
until the workpiecetouches the left hand
stop (B).
3.
Swing out the workpiece (D) around the
corner point (C).
IMPORTANT!
There is a danger of kick-back,
unless the stops are used.
