Edge Moulding - Triton RTA300 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité

5. Fit the jig base to the table and use the router fence
clamping knobs and T-bolts to join the top to it
6. The full range of adjustment can be achieved by
rotating the jig base and/or the jig top
7. Place the workpiece between the cutter and the jig and
lock the jig
8. Remove the workpiece and reset the jig top towards
the cutter by the desired planing amount
• Depending on the position of the jig you can use the
micro adjusters in the jig slots to set the width, either
by using the thumbwheels or the fence shims, as
described in 'Planing'
• To increase the useful range with the micro adjusters,
the jig fence can be replaced with a narrow batten
(Fig 31)

EDGE MOULDING

• Decorative cutters commonly have a ball bearing or
plain pilot on top, which can be used without a fence.
However, straight sided or slightly convex workpieces
are more easily edge moulded using the fence
• For concave or complex shapes remove the fence and
fit the guard to the router plate
Using the router fence
See Fig 32
It is always best to use two or three shallow passes rather
than one deep pass to lessen the chance of tearout or
splintering
Adjust the fence to just expose the cutter for the first
pass. Progressively expose more of the cutter by adjusting
the fence between passes until the final pass when the
pilot should be level with the fence
For extra support and guidance, short edges are best
performed against the protractor (see 'End Grain Work'
below)

WARNING: Never attempt free-hand routing without a
bearing or pilot guided cutter
• Always use the guard as it makes the job safer; the
integral lead-in and trail-out guides also make the job
much easier
1. Several passes are better than one deep pass. Start
with the cutter lowered and progressively increase the
cutter height for each pass
2. Rest the workpiece against the front (lead-in) edge of
the guard and maintain this contact while feeding the
workpiece onto the cutter
3. Continue the cut against the cutter's pilot guide
4. Near the end of the cut, swing the workpiece toward
the rear (trail-out) edge of the guard
5. Complete the cut with the work in contact with the rear
edge of the guard
