Moving the guide plates (D) inward for edge-
forming reduces the gap between the guide
plates and the router bit and provides close-in
support. This is especially helpful when routing
very short workpieces and at the end of any
workpiece. It also reduces the possibility of
t
ear out on the workpiece. (Fig. 7)
The RA1054 can also be used to guide a
router along convex curves. When used in this
way, it is best to fasten the guide plates at their
outer-most positions, then adjust the location
of the router on the rods so that the bit is
positioned to make the desired cut.
The guide plate screws should be tightened to
secure guide plates in the desired location.
Guide plates (D) (and dust
extraction hood, if used)
must clear the router bit by at least 1/8" (3
mm) in all directions.
O
PERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the router guide is assembled, attached
and adjusted, it is ready for use.
The router should be fed from left to right with
steady feed pressure
When guiding along straight edges, the guide
plates should be kept in contact with the edge
of the workpiece at all times.
When guiding along convex curves, the two
inner edges of the guide plates should be held
against the workpiece at all times.
USE OF CIRCLE CUIDE
Follow the normal procedure for using the
router.
• When a clean round opening in the
workpiece is desired, the smoothest surface
for the opening will be achieved by moving the
router in a clockwise direction.
• When making a round workpiece such as a
small tabletop, the smoothest surface for the
round workpiece will be achieved by moving
the router in a counter-clockwise direction.
