ROUTING WITH THE FENCE
The fence supports and guides the workpiece. To provide the best support during routing
operations, the fence facings should be as close to the bit as possible without contacting the bit
(typically about 1/4
in.
30. To adjust the extended fence forward and backward
a. Loosen the two clamping knobs.
b. Move the fence assembly forward or backward along
the slots to the desired position.
c. Tighten the clamping knobs. The fence can be moved
forward and backward 3-3/4
NOTICE: Never cut more than 1/8-in. deep deep
with a single pass.
NOTICE: For deeper cuts, do NOT attempt to make the
cut in a single pass. Make multiple shallower cuts passes
by progressively moving the fence backward until the
desired depth of cut is reached.
31. To adjust the in-feed and out-feed fence laterally
The in-feed (W) and out-feed (X) fence can each be
adjusted 2 laterally to lengthen the fence.
in.
a. Loosen the four wing nuts.
b. Move the fence facings to the right or left
to the desired position.
c. Tighten the wing nuts.
WARNING: Always make sure that the fence and
guard cannot come in contact with the router bit. Failure
to do so will result in damage to the router table and can
cause personal injury.
32. To adjust the out-feed fence for joining
For joining operations, the out-feed fence (X) can be
adjusted up to 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) forward of the in-feed
fence (W) to support the workpiece after it passes across
the router bit.
a. Loosen the clamping knob on the out-feed fence.
b. Move the out-feed fence forward of the in-feed fence
(X) to a distance equal to the width of material to be
removed from the workpiece.
c. Loosen the fence wing nuts. Slide both fence faces
towards the bit to minimize the space between the
faces and router bit. Securely tighten the wing nuts.
d. Loosen the knob on the in-feed fence, then move and clamp the
entire fence so that the front of the out-feed fence face is aligned
with the front of the router bit. Use a straight edge if necessary.
