Figure 24

Using the Miter Gauge
and Fence

The miter gauge can serve as extra support
for routing small workpieces and for ends of
long workpieces. (See Figure 25.)

You must use the security guard

when making cuts using the

miter gauge.

NOTE: Make sure fence and miter bar slot are
parallel before cutting.

To cut miters, unclamp knob that secures the
protractor head. Turn head up to 60° in either
direction. Retighten knob.

Do not allow any body part to

be in line with the router bit at

any time when the miter gauge is in use. Doing
so could lead to serious personal injury.

When making cuts using the

miter gauge, hold the workpiece

firmly against the fence, the miter gauge, and
the table.

Using the Featherboard
Flaps

The featherboard flaps (MM) provide support
for the workpiece by holding it securely, which
helps minimize chatter and kickback.

Insert the featherboard flap into fence to hold
down workpieces. Holding pressure can be
varied by putting long or short end of flaps in
fence, or by varying the distance of flap end
from the fence.
