Freehand Routing with the Router
The T3 can also be used for signwriting or
creative freehand work without any form of
guide.
With practice, numbers or name plate designs
can be routed freehand. Draw the design or
motif on the work piece and then rout the design,
taking shallow passes.
Batten Routing
Where a side-fence cannot be used, it is also
possible to guide the router along a batten
clamped across the work piece (with an
overhang at both ends).
Guidance from a batten is similar to that
obtained from a side-fence. This method is
appropriate if the edge of the work piece is
not straight or is not very smooth or simply
the guide rods of the side-fence are too short
for the job.
Use the straight edges of the router base and
calculate the distance required from the edge
of the batten to the cut required. Always
check that the clamps do not obstruct the
path of the router before starting the cut.
Standard technique is used, and
side pressure applied to ensure the
router does not wander from the
batten.
A V groove bit is
ideal for engraving
designs at shallow
depths.
