(Fig. 6), and secure in place with the two wing
screws provided.
One method of locating the guide is to mark
the center of groove to be cut, set the router
flat on the work with the bit just touching and
aligned over the center of groove. Bring the
guide to the edge of the work, and securely
tighten screws. Whenever in doubt about
dimensions, make a trial cut on scrap
material. For guiding along a circular edge,
the notch in the center of the edge guide will
contact the material at the two points shown
(Fig. 7).
