Adjustments
Router Feed Rate Adjustment
Figure 8
The Router Feed Rate Adjustment knob is located just under the air inlet port on the left side of
the machine. (Figure 8) The adjustment knob only affects the cutting stroke of the pocket router.
Turning the knob clockwise selects a slower Feed Rate. Turning the knob counter-clockwise
selects a faster Feed Rate. A suggested Router Feed Rate Adjustment for hardwoods such as oak
or maple is described as follows:
ƒ Loosen the jam nut on the threaded stem and spin the nut counter-clockwise.
ƒ Turn the knob clockwise until it reaches a mechanical stop.
ƒ Turn the knob counter-clockwise two full revolutions.
ƒ Adjust slower or faster in small increments as required.
ƒ Tighten the jam nut.
IMPORTANT
If the work piece shifts noticeably during the Pocket Cycle, this usually means the Router
Feed Rate is faster than the tooling’s ability to clear the Pocket. In general the desired
Feed Rate is slower for harder, denser materials.
