GROOVE CUTTING

Beading is commonly defined as cutting a groove or

bead in the face of a board.

1. If installed, remove the spacer bars on the outfeed

ence.

2. With the router unplugged and the safety switch in the

off position, follow the instructions supplied with your

router and install a cutting bit in the router.

3. Raise or lower the router bit to the desired height.

4. Loosen the knobs and adjust the opening between

the fences to allow the bit to clear the edge of bothfences.

5. Adjust the main fence until the center of the bit has reached the desired distance, A.

6. Align the infeed and outfeed fences parallel to each other using a machinist square or a straightedge..

PROFILE CUTTING

Profile cutting is usually performed using a bit with a

guide bearing. The guide bearing controls the depth of

cut into the edge face of a board. A good example

would be a chamfer bit A.

The bearing rides along the uncut edge of the board

while the cutter removes the wood.

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from previous section “Groove

Cutting”.

2. Adjust the fence back and away from the bit only

enough to allow the guide bearing to control the depth of cut or use the starting pin as a support for the work

piece, as shown in B.

3. Adjust the fence as close as possible to the bearing. The fence will serve as a backup support, reducing the

chance of an accident.

TENSIONING THE DRIVE CHAIN

1. Lower the lift to its lowest position and then remove

it from the table.

2. Using a 6 mm allen key loosen the cap screw A

(Fig.1).

3. Push the sprocket assembly B (Fig.2) further along

its slotted opening C (Fig.1) by hand to add tension

to the chain.

4. While holding the sprocket assembly in position,

tighten the cap screw to secure it in place.

Note: To avoid unnecessary adjustments, make sure that

the tool creep you are experiencing is not being cause by

the router slipping in the reducer collar or in the clamping

mechanism on the lift.

Proper tension on the drive chain helps maintain tool bit height in the lift without the need for a locking mechanism.

If you experience problems with tool creep it may be a sign that tension on the chain needs to be tightened. If so

proceed as follows:
