Woodhaven 6011: Standard Mortise Table - Manual (Page 4)

USING THE 6011
Set the One Track attached to the slide plate in the miter
slot of the Horizontal Router Table. Set the Mortise Table base
on the slide plate so the slide plate is between the One Tracks
on the Mortise Table base.
Make sure the part and Mortise Table are not touching
the bit, then turn on the router. Hold the handles of the Mortise
Table and plunge the part/Mortise Table into the bit, feeding the
Mortise Table from right to left as you face the bit. Keep down-
ward pressure on the Mortise Table at all times.
For best results when mortising, you should not cut deeper
then the bit diameter in each pass. For example, a 5/16" bit
should not cut deeper than 5/16" per pass. Since it may not be
practical to adjust the router depth that often, you may want to
use the following method.
Adjust the bit to the full cut depth desired and use spacers
to limit the depth of cut of each pass. Using a 1" finished cut
depth as an example, cut a three 1/4" thick spacers 1" wide and
10" or more long. Start with three spacers between the base of
the Mortise Table and the router plate and make a cut. Remove
one spacer for each cut that follows, until all all spacers have
been removed and you make the last cut at the full cut depth.
