Trial routing of the dovetails
Perform a trial routing to check whether all settings are cor-
rect.
• Place the router on the end of the template so that the collar
(12.1) of the starting ring rests against the template.
• Press the tool down to the preset routing depth and lock the
routing depth on the router.
• Switch the router on.
• Guide the router evenly along the template (Figure 13).
Caution: The collar of the starting ring must always rest against
the.
Always hold the router by both handles parallel to the template
and do not turn the tool during routing. The routing depth may
not be changed during routing.
• Check that all dovetails are routed correctly – repeat work if
necessary.
• Unclamp the workpieces and fi t together.
If the dovetail joint does not fi t exactly carry out the following
corrections:
° Dovetail joint too stiff (14.1):
Slightly reduce the router’s routing depth with the fi ne adjust-
ment (approx. –0.5 mm).
° Dovetail joint too loose (14.2):
Slightly increase the router’s routing depth with the fi ne ad-
justment (approx. + 0.5 mm).
° Dovetail joint too deep (14.3):
Turn the adjusting wheels in the minus direction by the faulty
dimension (1 scale graduation mark corresponds to –0.1 mm
dovetail depth), replace and realign template according to
Chapter 6.1 a).
° Dovetail joint not deep enough (14.4):
Turn the adjusting wheels in the plus direction by the faulty
dimension (1 scale graduation mark corresponds to +0.1 mm
dovetail depth), replace and realign template according to
Chapter 6.1 a).
Note: In order to adjust the adjusting wheels the screws (15.1)
have to be opened and retightened after adjustment. This locks
the preset position for later working.
• Repeat this procedure until the joint fi ts exactly.
Routing the dovetails
Rout all dovetails analogous to the trial routing.
