Making test cuts is essential with most routing  
applications. A test cut yields information  
about the set-up, the speed of the tool, the  
cutting depth, and how the cutter bit reacts to  
the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-and-  
error process of making various adjustments,  
followed by test cuts, while learning all of the  
tool’s operational abilities. To avoid ruining good  
material, make test cuts on scrap material.

ROUTING WITH THE EDGE GUIDE

The edge guide can be used as an aid in  
routing applications such as decorative edging,  
straight-edge planning and trimming, grooving,  
dadoing, and slotting.

1. Loosen the knob and slide the fence along  
the arm of the edge guide. Once the desired  
length is reached, tighten the knob (Fig. 20).  
2. With the cutting depth set, place the tool on the  
edge of the workpiece, making sure that the  
cutter does not contact the workpiece (Fig. 21).  
3. Turn the tool ON and allow it to reach its full  
speed.  
4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutter bit  
into the edge of the workpiece.

5. Move the tool while keeping the edge guide

and allow the cutter bit to come to a complete  
stop before removing it from the workpiece.

causing possibly serious personal injury.  
NOTE: If the distance between the side of  
the workpiece and the cutting position is too  
wide for the edge guide, or if the side of the  
workpiece is not straight, firmly clamp a straight  
board to the workpiece and use it as a guide  
against the router base. Feed the tool in the  
direction of the arrow (Fig. 22).  
Always clamp the

keep a firm grip on the tool base with both  
hands at all times. Failure to do so could result  
in loss of control, causing possibly serious  
personal injury.
