Shaping

Many shaping operations involve
the removal of the entire edge of a
square piece of stock as it is
moved past the cutter. With a
careful offset fence setup, a
shaping operation can
simultaneously straighten or joint
the shaped edge. Here’s how:

Install router bit

Set desired depth of cut

Adjust fence gap as

necessary

See Gap Adjustment on page 12.

Set initial fence

position

Unlock the carriage clamp and
slide the fence up to the cutter.
Adjust the location of the fence to
position the outfeed fence in line
with the outermost cutting arc of
the smallest diameter on the cutter,
Fig. 29. A thin straightedge held
against the outfeed fence can be
used to help align the fence with
the smallest diameter of the cutter.

Set the desired fence

offset

Set the desired fence offset by
adjusting the infeed fence
backward. (See Infeed Fence
Adjustment on page 10.) Moving
the infeed fence back about .015”
(
