[. . . ] Therefore, when you have your router mounted upside clown on a router table, you set depth of cut by reading the scale differently. Set the cutter at zero depth of cut, rotate depth indicator ring to desired depth of cut on the scale, then turn depth adjusting ring back to zero depth of cut and lock clamping lever securely. CUI"FEREXTENDED BELOWSUBBASE · Fig. 7 Turn the depth adjusting ring to obtain the desired depth of cut. The distance the cutter moves can be read on the depth adjusting ring. Each mark on the depth adjusting ring indicates 1/64 inch change in depth setting. One indicator point is located on front of the motor housing, the other one is located on the base. Lock clamping lever, securing depth adjusting ring to motor housing and base. 9 · ROUTING See Figure 9. RATE OF FEED IMPORTANT: The whole "secret" of professional routing and edge shaping lies in making a careful setup for the cut to be made and in selecting the proper rate of feed. It is the rate at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips -- without hogging into the wood to make large individual chips or, on the other hand, to create only sawdust. If you are making a small diameter, shallow groove in soft, dry wood, the proper feed may be about as fast as you can travel your router along your guide line. On the other hand, if the bit is a large one, the cut is deep or the wood is hard to cut, the proper feed may be a very slow one. A cross-grain cut may require a slower pace than an identical with grain cut in the same workpiece. The best rate of feed is determined by listening to the sound of the router motor and by feeling the progress of each cut. 9 For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your router has two handles, one on each side of the router base. When using your router hold it firmly with both hands as shown in figure 9. Failure to do so could result in loss of control leading to possible serious injury. Turn router on and let motor build to its full speed, then gradually feed cutter into workpiece. Do not operate router when fatigued. Clean, smooth routing and edge shaping can be done only when the bit is revolving at a relatively high speed and is taking very small bites to produce tiny, cleanly severed chips. If your router is forced to move forward too fast, the RPM of the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward movement. Bigger chips also require more power, which could result in the router motor becoming overloaded. Under extreme force-feeding conditions the relative RPM of the bit can become so slow-- and the bites it has to take so large -- that chips will be partially knocked off (rather than fully cut off), with resulting splintering and gouging of the workpieee. See Figure 10. 10 tn addition, it is more difficult to control a router when the bit is scraping instead of cutting.
