Grizzly C1552 - Manual

Step 1: Cutting Stile and Rail Edges
Make sure the router is disconnected from the
power source. Install the stile and rail cutter.
(C1551 or C1554.) Attach the router to your
router table and adjust the height of the bit
until the top of the bead is
1 ⁄
16
" below the top
of your stile. See Figure A . Adjust the fence
until it is flush with the bearing. (The bearing
can be used without the fence when you are
cutting non-linear shapes such as a curved
arch door rail, however a starting pin should
be employed to help make safe first contact to
workpiece). The workpiece must always be fed
against the cutter rotation and the full depth of pro-
file should be made in one pass to ensure a precise cut. If the window is not to be
painted, a side should be chosen for appearance and marked with a pencil. Before
plugging in the router, set a piece of scrap, the same size as the workpiece, on the
table appearance side up. Lay the edge to be cut firmly against the fence. A hold-
down device such as a featherboard should be used to keep the workpiece secured against the fence. Make a test
cut to ensure that the complete profile is being cut. Adjust, if necessary, and re-test.
Run all of the stiles and rails for the project through the cutter before changing bits to do the rail ends.
