Clamps and clamp helpers.
The standard clamps
work in most situations, but for mortising, make sim-
ple clamp helpers like the one shown to get pressure
where you need it. Avoid clamping directly over the
area to be mortised, as the clamp could end up de-
forming the mortise wall.
Set the depth of cut.
The excellent solid carbide bits
included with your PantoRouter cut crisp, clean mor-
tises.
Simply touch the bit to the workpiece and slide the
depth stop just past the length of the tenon you’ll cut
next. We want a little room for excess glue at the bot-
tom of the mortise. About an 1/8” or 3mm is plenty.
Dust shroud brush goes back on.
The highly
effective and convenient dust collection hood has
a brush-style shroud that comes off easily for setup
and goes back on just as quickly.
Note: If the brush ever gets smooshed, go to our
website in the Support section and find the Tech
Tip called “Bad Hair Day” for an easy way to
straighten the bristles. www.PantoRouter.com
