Center the template vertically.
This step is just as easy.
Once you’ve properly set the thickness gauge below the
template holder (see the assembly and setup instruc-
tions for the PantoRouter
TM
), all you need to do is place
a cutoff from one of your workpieces, or the workpiece
itself, between the template holder and thickness gauge
to know you have centered the template and router bit
on the stock. Lock the template holder in that position.
Measure the tenon piece to set the fence
. Even though you’ll be mortising first, use the tenon piece here if your
M&T joint will be on the end of your workpiece. Measure the width then adjust the fence to that same dimen-
sion. The inner ruler on the fence is half-scale, making the fence self-centering.
Mortises first
Insert the mortise guide bearing.
Choose the 10mm
guide bearing and insert it into the mortise slot of the
template. Also, insert the bit for the mortise you are
cutting. See the reference chart later in this guide.
