5.5 Routing in stages
•
Depending on the hardness of the material you wish to cut and the cutting depth, it may be a
good idea to proceed in stages.
•
If you wish to route in several stages, turn the end stop revolver after you have set the
cutting depth so that the depth stop is over the highest end stop.
•
Now route in this setting. After completing the first routing operation, adjust the end stop
revolver so that the depth stop is above middle end stop. Now complete a routing operation
in this setting as well.
•
Now set the lowest end stop and finish the routing.
5.6 Free-hand routing
•
The router can also be operated without any guide rods. You can use it for freehand routing
for creative work such as the production of logos.
•
Use a very flat cutter setting for this purpose.
•
Check the direction in which the cutter is turning as you machine the workpiece.
5.7 Shape and edge cutting
•
Special cutters with a guide ring may be used for cutting shapes and edges.
•
Fit the cutter.
•
Carefully guide the machine on to the workpiece.
•
Guide the guide journal or ball bearing along the workpiece with gentle pressure.
•
Warning! For deep cuts, carry out the work in several steps according to the material in
question. Hold the router in two hands when carrying out all cutting work.
