Setting the Plunge Depth 10 OF 1400 EQ Router Using Basic Plunge Features The basic plunge features are used for the majority of operations including both fixed depth routing and plunge routing. 1. Unplug the router for safety. 2. Loosen the depth stop clamping lever so the depth stop is free to move up and down.
Using the Depth Stop Turret The depth stop turret allows you to easily change between different depths without changing the depth stop settings. ► The turret posts can be calibrated for repeatable depth settings from a basepoint depth, such as making dado cuts.
Using the Turret for Precision Depths This procedure is very helpful when you have day-to-day plunging operations that use the same depth relative to a basepoint.
Plunge Routing Plunge routing is any oper ation where the router is lowered down into the cutting area after the router has been started. Most often this involves router bits that do not have a guide bearing, but can also be used for interior cutting (such as the circular cut shown on pa ge 12).
Advanced Routing Techniques Starting a Cut Near a Corner When routing a profile on the edge of a board, it can be difficult starting the cut at the corner wi thout having the router lurch backward and cut into the adjoining side of the board (going past the corner).
Multi-pass Cuts Nearly all routing operations can be improved by making multiple passes. In some case s the routing operation would remove too mach material to be completed safely in a single pass. In other cases, the finish ed cut is improved by making a shallow, clean-up pass.
Pre-cutting Dovetails and Keyways Dovetail and keyway cutters are inherently weak because the upper shank of the bit is small er than the cutting edges. If the stress on the bit is too great, the cutting tip can break. To reduce the stress on the cutter, it is common practice to plough out the majority of the material with a straight bit.
Climb-cutting with Small Diameter Bits Disclaimer: Even though Festool does not condone the practice of climb-cutting with a router, the topic is known to exist in books and other written publications on router techniques.
