OPERATION

Fig. 14

When routing a groove wider than the diameter of the

cutter, clamp a straightedge on both sides of the cutlines.

Position both guides parallel to the desired line of cut and

spaced equal distances from the desired edges of the

groove. Rout along one guide; then, reverse direction and

rout along the other guide. Clean out any remaining

waste in the center of the groove freehand.

ROUTING BY FREEHAND

See Figure 14.

When used freehand, your router becomes a flexible and

versatile tool. This flexibility makes it possible to easily

rout signs, relief sculptures, etc.

There are two basic techniques for freehand routing:

■■

■ Routing letters, grooves, and patterns into wood.

■■

■ Routing out the background, leaving the letters or

pattern raised above the surface.

When freehand routing, we suggest the following:

■■

■ Draw or layout the pattern on workpiece.

■■

■ Choose the appropriate cutter.

NOTE: A core box or V-groove bit is often used for

routing letters and engraving objects. Straight bits and

ball mills are often used to make relief carvings.

Veining bits are used to carve small, intricate details.

■■

■ Rout the pattern in two or more passes. Make the first

pass at 25% of the desired depth of cut. This will

provide better control as well as being a guide for the

next pass.

NOTE: Do not rout deeper than 1/8 in. per pass.

WARNING:

Do not use large router bits for freehand routing. Use of

large router bits when freehand routing could cause loss

of control or create other hazardous conditions that could

cause possible serious personal injury. When using a

router table, large router bits should be used for edging

only. Do not use router bits that are larger in diameter

than the opening in router subbase for any purpose.
