To reduce the likelihood of kickback when free-
hand routing, use a starting pin or block (see
Figures 41–42). This will allow you to anchor and
slowly pivot the workpiece into the cutter as the
cut is started, making the operation more stable
and safe.
Figure 42. Example of using a jig with a starting
block.
ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig and extreme
care when free-hand routing that requires
removal of fence. Routing without fence
and attached guard greatly increases risk
of accidental contact with spinning cutter,
causing serious personal injury.
To free-hand route:
1. DISCONNECT ROUTER FROM POWER!
2. Fabricate a jig to use with workpiece that will
match desired finished shape, then attach it
to workpiece (see
Figure 42 for an example).
Note: Make sure any fasteners used will not
make contact with the router bit during the
cutting operation. Glue can be used as an
alternative.
3. Remove fence assembly from table.
4. If possible, fabricate and mount a custom
guard over the bit that safely protects your
hands from spinning cutter.
5. Insert starting pin in best-suited hole on
mounting plate, or clamp a starting block to
the table (see
Figure 42 for an example).
6. Install a router bit with a rub collar as directed
by router manufacturer's instructions, then
raise it to desired height (see
Figure 43).
