ANNUAL CD COLLECTION VOLUME 3 Gluing & Joinery Jointing on a Router Table A jointer has separate infeed and outfeed tables that are offset from each other. To create the same effect on the router table, I attached a piece of plastic laminate to the left (outfeed) side of the router table fence. The router bit removes stock like the knives of a jointer, and the laminate supports the newly-cut edge. Before attaching the laminate to the fence, file a slight bevel on the edge of the laminate by the bit opening. That way it won’t catch the leading corner of the workpiece (detail ‘a’). Then I used double-sided carpet tape to attach the plastic laminate to the fence so one end aligns with the bit opening (see drawing). 1 Next mount a straight bit in the router table. (If your router will accept it, a /2" shank bit 1 works better than a /4" shank bit because the thicker shank helps cut down on vibration.) Then adjust the fence so the surface of the laminate is aligned with the outermost edge of the bit (detail ‘a’). Now turn on the router and push the workpiece along the fence from PLASTIC LAMINATE right to left. For the best edge, move the board in a smooth, non-stop pass. WORKPIECE a.

But it’s important to choose a router that’s designed expressly for that purpose. The best allow both bit-height adjustments and bit changes from above the table.

That gives more precise control over a variety of work, us- ing bits that otherwise would be too big to use safely. A table allows the use of feather- boards, hold-downs, a miter gauge, and other aids that won’t work with a hand- held router. With a table-mounted router, you can create moldings on large or small stock, make raised panels using large bits, cut sliding dovetails, and much more. Until recently, the best way to marry router and table was with a router lift, an expensive device that holds the router and allows you to change bits and adjust cut- ting height from above the table.

    Power Tool Guide 05J50.01

    Power Tool Guide 05J50.01 The Veritas® Power Tool Guide is a collapsible straightedge that can be clamped to any material under 1" thick. The 52" tool guide (05J50.03) can be clamped across sheet material up to 52". The 8' Power Tool Guide (05J50.01), or the 48" tool guide extension (05J50.04) added to the 52" tool guide, can be clamped across sheet material up to 100". The advantage this guide has over other 8' guides is that it may be dismantled quickly and easily for cutting smaller sheet material as well as for easier storage or transport. The guide includes a pair of 1" capacity clamps that can be positioned anywhere along its length. For clamping material thicker than plywood sheets, a pair of 2" capacity clamps (05J50.09) is available separately. An optional 12" traveller (05J50.02) used in conjunction with a user-made base plate ensures that your power tool will effortlessly follow the intended line with greater safety. The utility of the traveller is further enhanced with the optional position stop (05J50.10) that clamps onto either guide rail. Figure 1: Veritas® Power Tool Guide. Safety Rules These safety instructions are meant to complement those that came with your power tool. We suggest that you reread those, in addition to these listed here before you begin to use this product. To use this product safely, always follow both sets of safety and general instructions. 1.

Way tics include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Acetal, Delrin, Hydex, nylon, polycarbonate, polyurethane and polyethylene terephtalate (PET). Cutting Tool Geometry Router bits for cutting mechanical plastics have traditionally been run on CNC routers at high spindle speeds and feed rates. Extensive testing and years of field experience have shown that a tool with a high rake and low clearance performs exceptionally well. It ma- chines mechanical plastics more pro- ductively than tools with other geome- tries and imparts a finer surface finish (Figure 1).
