Panel Saw
This position provides a cutting capacity of up to
24" or more, depending on your saw size.
Position the fence as shown in (Fig. 16), ensuring
it is pushed fully toward the outer edge of the
table before tightening the clamps, for absolute
squareness.
Mitre Cutting
Mitres can be cut with the fence set at a trailing
angle (Fig. 17) or leading angle (Fig. 18) and with
the workpiece in front (Fig. 17) or behind the fence.
(Fig. 18)
You can use the protractor to set the required mitre
angle. Place it in the protractor slot as shown in
(Fig.18). Align the extension table fence to the
protractor in the position which best suits your
workpiece, then remove the protractor.
Taper Ripping
For slight tapers on large workpieces (ie. a small
door), set the extension table fence to Panel Saw
mode and insert a packer against it, as shown in
(Fig. 19).
Tapers can also be cut by angling the rip fence. (Fig.
20) The required angle can be achieved by using
the protractor as outlined in Mitre Cutting (Fig. 18).
A parallel sided packer will be required to offset the
distance between the fence and the protractor in
establishing the correct taper angle.
Use G-clamps or similar to secure your work to the
sliding table when taper ripping.
USE WITH A ROUTER TABLE
Trenching, edge planing and shaping can be
performed in all modes of operation with a Triton
Router Table, either fitted to a Workcentre or a
Router Stand (model RSA300 only).
Edge Planing
For edge planing pieces up to 39" wide, any length,
use the Fixed Table position (Fig. 21).
Set the extension table fence to the required width
by measuring the distance from the router cutter to
the fence, or by performing a test cut.
On earlier model Router and Jigsaw Tables set the
rear section of the router table fence flush with
the router cutter and set the front sub-fence to the
maximum depth of cut.
If using the Router Table model RTA300, remove
the fence and fit the guard to the tabletop. The
extension table scales can be used to plane
accurately to width if using the same router bit used
in fine-tuning the inner track on a Router Stand
- Step 15R. If fitted to a Workcentre the scales
can be adjusted to read true by following Step
15R. Remember to reset it back for saw use when
finished routing.
Always guide your work along the extension table
fence, not the router fence.
For planing edges up to 27
1 ⁄
2
" long, you can use the
sliding table mode with the extension table fence
positioned as shown in Fig. 22. Use the extension
table fence to align the workpiece, and set the
router fence, if fitted, clear of the work.
Trenching
Trenching is possible in all modes of operation. In
the Table Sliding mode clamp a wooden batten to
extension table fence and extend it past the cutter,
as shown in Fig. 23. Run the batten through the
cutter to create a sighting notch and to prevent tear-
out in your workpiece.
For trenches up to 27
1 ⁄
2
" long in the Table Sliding
mode fit the extension table fence in the leading
position (furthest away from you), as shown in Fig.
22. Longer trenches can be performed in the Table
Locked mode (Fig. 21).
Always use extreme care if using the Router Table
without the guard.
For large, awkward objects (eg. heavy staircase
stringers) it may be neccessary to use the router
'hand-held' against a guide clamped to the
workpiece.
