Pro Tips

Make a test cut on scrap material before routing the final workpiece to confirm the depth and profile.
Use dust extraction whenever possible to improve visibility and reduce dust build-up around the cutter.
Move the router steadily and avoid forcing the tool; a smooth feed rate gives a cleaner edge.
Keep the base runner clean to avoid marking the workpiece surface.
Inspect the cutter before use and replace dull or damaged cutters to maintain a clean finish.

Use the spindle stop to secure the cutter correctly before operation.
Adjust the routing depth using the fine adjustment system.
Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27 mm extraction connection if required.
Place the base runner flat and stable on the workpiece edge.
Start the machine and allow it to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
Guide the router smoothly along the edge with steady, controlled movement.
Switch the machine off and wait for the cutter to stop fully before lifting it away from the workpiece.
