Using the Palm Router with Tilt
Base (PR005)
(Fig. 42, Fig. 43)
directly above or next to the exposed bit.
The principles of using the tilt base are basi-
cally the same as for the fixed base router
set-up. See "Using the Palm Router with
Fixed Base" on page 31 with the follow-
ing differences:
• A palm router in a Tilt Base 31 should
always be used with a self-piloted or
bearing bit.
• The cutting angle must be adjusted. See
"Adjusting the Angle of the Tilt Base" on
page 19.
• Always grip the Palm Router 1 firmly
using the Palm Router Grip Area 2. The
proper grip position will depend on the
angle of the cut.
• Feed the Palm Router 1 into the work-
piece. See "Feeding the Palm Router"
on page 30. When trimming edges
while the bit is tilted toward the direc-
tion of feed, it is extremely important to
keep the base square with the surface
to be routed. If the tilt router is shifted
in the direction of the surface it is riding
on, the upper part of the cutter can dig
far into the workpiece.
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, never grip the base
