SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always switch off the power and unplug the router when

changing cutters or when making adjustments.

Always wear protective goggles when routing.

Wear sound protective ear muffs when routing for long periods of time.

Do not wear loose clothing. Make sure baggy sleeves are rolled up and ties are removed.

Always remove spanners and allen keys from the table surface before switching router on .

Keep hands well clear of the router cutter when routing.

Avoid accidental starting of the router. Make sure the power switch is in the 'Off' position before plugging in and connecting to the electrical supply. Fit the no-volt release switch for ultimate safety.

Never leave the router unattended when running. Always wait until the router comes to a complete stop before making any adjustments.

Do not switch the router on with the cutter touching the workpiece.

10.

Make a push stick and use it to move narrow workpieces across the cutting area.

11.

Mount the Router Table securely to a work bench or to a workboard fitted to a suitable surface.

CUTTER CARE

Do not drop cutters or knock them against hard objects.

Cutters should be kept clean. Resin build-up should be removed at regular intervals with a wire brush. The use of a dry lubricant will act as a preventative eg Trendicote spray. Take care not to allow excessive quantities of lubricant to come into contact with the Router Table.

Cutter shanks should be inserted into the collet at least 3/4 of shank length to prevent distortion. A distorted collet should be discarded, as it can cause vibration and damage the shank.

Do not overtighten collet as this will score the shank and create a weakness there.

It is also advisable to periodically check the router collet nut for wear.

USEFUL ADVICE

Judge your feed rate by the sound of the motor.

In time, the operator will acquire a ‘feel’ for the router, and a feed speed relative to the work will come naturally. Too slow a feed will result in burning.

Do not take too deep a cut in one pass. Take light cuts with many passes to maintain cutter speed and improve finish.

12.

Check the function of the retractable safety guard before each use, to ensure it rides easily over the workpiece.

13.

Always use the back fence to guide the work. Do not work freehand unless using bearing guided or pin guided cutters.

14.

Always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter

15.

Periodically check all nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight and secure.

16.

Use dust extraction equipment.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Table surface 359mm (14") x 610mm (24") Table height 349mm (13

/2") Aperture opening 54mm (2 1/8") Back Fence opening 73mm (2 7/8") Height of Back Fence 100mm (4")

Apply the normal precautions as with any electric power tool.

The main abuse of routing machines is the inclination for operators to overload them. The motto is 'Keep the revs up'. The drop in revolutions should not exceed, if possible, more than 20% of full running speed.

The motor of a router is susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips, and should be blown out, or ‘vacuumed’ , frequently to prevent interference with normal motor ventilation.

Do not store the Router Table with router fitted on the floor, as chips, panel pins or dirt could drop into the air intake of the router.

Refer to the Instruction Manual supplied with your router for full details of it's features and safety information.

The use of a fine height adjuster is highly recommended (if available for your router) for accurately adjusting the height of the cutter.

Do not use strong detergents or organic solvents to clean the Router Table or any of its components.

D. Identification of Mounting Holes and Screws

See previous page to:

1. Identify which Insert Plate has been supplied with your Router Table.

2. Identify the mounting holes and fixing screws (including washers & nuts if applicable) which will be required to suit your router.

3. Identify whether your router or the Insert Plate requires re-drilling.

If at this point, you realise you have ordered the incorrect model of Router Table for your router, an exchange of the Insert Plate can be made direct with Trend, see address on front cover. Ensure that the fixing pack, insert rings and insert plate are returned. Please quote part number of plate required in the exchange. Additional Insert Plates can be purchased through your nearest Trend stockist if you wish to fit other models of router to your router table. See prevoius page for selection, and spare parts diagram for price details.

Your Router should fall into one of the following catagories:

base. The fixing screws can then be used to secure. The use of a gasket serves two purposes, firstly it allows for secure fixing of the router, and secondly, due to the small aperture in the router it allows the tabs of the insert rings to fit tightly to the plate. Enlarging the aperture in the base of the router is also advised if large diameter tooling is to be used.

(iii) For Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE, three 3/4"x1/4"

packing washers are used on each screw to pack out the base of the router from the underside of the insert plate. These packing washers allow the tabs of the inset rings to fit tightly in the plate.

3/4" & 1/4" packing washers

(i) No adjustment necessary - Proceed to section H.

Please note for Elu OF97(E) see section (i) below. For Bosch POF 52, 400A, 500A and 600ACE see section D4 (ii) and for Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE see section D4 (iii).

(ii) Router base requires re-drilling - Proceed to section E (iii) Insert Plate requires re-drilling - Proceed to section F

4.(i)For the Elu OF97(E) a 6.35mm (1/4") thick MDF or

plywood gasket is required. The central hole should be drilled out to 60mm in diameter and with two

Bosch GOF900A & 1300ACE

further holes of 8mm diameter and at 115mm centres. Please see page 34 for plan.

(ii) For the Bosch POF DIY range of DIY routers a

special gasket must be made in 3mm to 6mm thick plywood or MDF made. Please see page 35 for plan. This gasket is then placed between the underside of the plate in the table and the underside of the router

Packing piece

E. Re-drilling of Router Base

1. Invert your router onto a suitable surface.

2. Place the Insert Plate facing upwards onto the base

of your router.

3. Identify holes A1 and A2, or holes B on the Insert Plate.

4. Fit a large diameter cutter (max. 53mm diam.) into your router and tighten collet.

5. Retract plunge mechanism and lock off allowing cutter to protrude through the base.

Bosch POF52, 400A, 500A & 600ACE

6. Adjust position of the Insert Plate to centralise the cutter within the centre hole of the Insert Plate.

7. Ensure that the threaded hole in the Insert Plate faces the same side as on/off switch and fine height adjuster (if fitted) so as these are easily accessible when the router is fitted to the table.

8. Ensure that the holes you are about to drill in the base do not interfere with any of the features on the

-8-

Router Table for the Craftsman

router or any webbings in the casting of the router base. A slight turning of the plate may be required to miss such obstructions.

(i) The base of the following routers must be drilled

with two 6mm diameter holes: MOF96(E) Mk1

Black & Decker SR100 AEG OFS450S, OFS50, OFS720, OFSE850 Perles OF808, Stayer PR50 Kango R8550S, Holzher 2335, 2355 Virutex FR77C, 78C

Please see page 33 for plan. Holes B on the plate will be used.

(ii) The base of the following routers must be drilled

with two 6mm diameter holes: Metabo OF1028, OFE1228

Ryobi R500, R502 Holes A1 on the plate will be used.

9. Mark the centre of the holes onto the base.

10. Remove plate and mark the centre of the holes with

a centre punch.

11. Drill a hole at these points with a 6mm diameter drill bit.

12. Clean up edges of holes if required.

10. Countersink the hole with a countersink bit to a

depth so the heads of the screws are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created.

Note

If you do not have the necessary equipment to carry out operations 7 and 8, then a local engineering shop will be able to carry them out accurately.

G. Re-drilling both Insert Plate and Router Base

1. Invert the router and lay the insert plate onto the upturned base, ensuring threaded insert hole is in the correct position.

2. Clamp the insert plate and router base together with two cramps.

3. Ensuring that the drill bit will not foul any webbing or fixtures on the router base, drill with a 6mm diameter drill bit into the insert plate and through the router base two holes approximately 75mm apart.

4. Unclamp the router base and insert plate.

5. Countersink the insert plate holes with a countersink bit to a depth so the screw heads are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created on both the insert plate and router base.

F. Re-drilling of Insert Plate

1. Remove or photocopy the plan from the appendix of

this manual.

2. Invert the router and lay the plan onto the base.

3. Identify the appropriate holes on the plan to fit your

model of router.

4. Line up the plan with the holes on the router and check the accuracy of their positions.

5. Draw cross lines on the insert plate with a pencil. These cross lines bi-secting the plate on both sides.

6. Cut around the plan of the router base so that the cross lines drawn on the paper plan are dissected.

7. Line up the lines on the insert plate and the lines on the paper plan, ensuring that the threaded insert hole match. Stick the paper plan onto the insert

plate.

8. Using a centre punch, mark centres of holes.

9. Drill the required hole size with a suitable metal drill

bit . Best results will be obtained if your power drill is mounted in a drill stand.

Assemble the four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts and the four Nylock Nuts to table as shown in fig. G1. After a few turns some resistance will be felt as the screws are gripped by the Nylock Nuts. Screw just enough to leave a few threads protruding through the nut.

Place the Insert Plate into the large opening in the table. The position of the plate should be with the

Threaded Hole to the front right of the Table Surface, see fig. G2.

While pressing down on the Insert plate, gradually adjust the Insert Plate Adjustable Bolts with a screwdriver until the Insert Plate is level with the Table Surface. A steel rule or T-square can be placed on the top of the Insert Plate to help this levelling process. The Insert Plate must be be supported equally on all four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts. When pressure is applied, the Insert Plate should be stable.

Selecting & Fitting Insert Plate Rings

The Insert Plate Rings are designed to support the workpiece around the cutter to avoid small timber sections tipping or flexing when being machined.

First separate all Insert Plate Rings from each other using a sharp knife and trim off all flashes, see fig. J.1.

Selecting the correct size of Ring

Select an Insert Plate Ring with an inside diameter approximately 1/4" (6mm) larger than the maximum diameter of the cutter to be used. This will give 1/8" (3mm) gap around the cutter to allow the chips to clear.

An Insert Plate Ring is not required for cutters having a diameter of 1 3/4" (45mm) or larger, as the Insert Plate will provide enough support for the workpiece.

Do not use router cutters having diameters larger than 50mm (2"). Always ensure the aperture on the base of your router will allow the cutter to protrude through it without touching it.

Fitting Insert Plate Rings

Fig. J.1

Trim flash here

Insert Plate Ring

The Insert Plate Rings are designed to be snapped into the Insert Plate. Slide the large tab under the edge of the Aperture Hole in the Insert Plate as shown in fig. J.2.

Using you thumb, press down on the Insert Plate Ring until the small tab snaps into position. Ensure the Insert Plate Ring is fully seated into the Aperture Hole.

To remove the Insert Plate Ring, release the small tab from the edge of the Aperture Hole and pull the

Ring out.

Fitting Lead-on Pin

The Lead-on Pin is a safety feature for profiling straight or shaped workpieces with a bearing guided cutter without using a back fence. It will prevent the cutter from snatching the workpiece, especially when using larger cutters or when making heavier cuts. The use of the optional accessory Profiling Top Guard is highly recommended to safely carry out this type of routing operation. See section Y for more information.

Identify the Lead-On Pin, see below.

Back Fence Fixing Bolt

Attachment of Back Fence to Table

The Back Fence is provided as a guide against which the workpiece should be held for accurate routing. Freehand routing (not holding work against the fence) should be avoided unless the cutter has a bearing guide or pin. Then, the Lead-on Pin should be fitted to prevent the cutter from snatching the workpiece.

When attaching the Back fence to the Table Surface, care should be taken not to knock the protruding cutter, if it has already been fitted.

Two round holes on the right side of the Table Surface and one long slot on the left hand side of the Table Surface are provided for attaching the Back Fence.

For all edge cutting and end cutting operations, attach fence using the front hole and the slot. This will allow adequate adjustment of the Back Fence to suit the cutter diameter and depth of cut. See fig. P.2.

For all routing operations away from edge on the under side of workpiece, such as grooving, fluting, veining, attach the Back Fence using the back hole and the slot. See fig. P.3. Dust extraction should be used with the Back Fence all times to prevent clogging of wood waste, see page 18.

Fig. P.1

Position Back Fence assembly to Table Surface

as shown in fig. P.1.

Depending upon the type of routing operation,

insert one of the Back Fence Fixing Bolts through

one of the holes on the right side of the Table

Surface (from the underside) and the short slot in

the Back Fence. Make sure square shoulder of the

bolt fits into the square recess in the underside of

the Table Surface.

While holding the bolt in place, fit the flat washer

and large knob onto the bolt to secure loosely the

Back Fence to the Table Surface.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for table slot and fence slot

NOTE:

Make a test cut on a piece of waste material prior

to carrying out any routing operation.

1. Mark the width and depth of cut required onto the end of the timber. See fig. V.1 for typical profiling and edging operation which can be carried out.

2. Place timber up against Back Fence.

3. Release Back Fence Fixing Bolts.

4. Adjust Back Fence until required width of cut is

achieved. See fig. V.2a.

If bearing guided cutters are used, ensure that the Back

Fence is in line with the bearing or slightly behind it. The Back Fence will give more support and provides the retractable Safety Dust Guard and Spring Pressure Clamp facility.

Using Router Table for Grooving

The router table can be used for operations away from the edge of the workpiece such as grooving, fluting, veining, etc.

Always unplug the router before making any setting, adjustments, or changing bits.

When routing, always feed against the rotation of the cutter. Feed workpiece in the direction of arrow in fig. W.2.

For maximum accuracy, one edge of your workpiece (edge sliding against the fence) must be true and straight. Set up your fence as follows:

Raise Safety Dust Guard and rest it against the extraction point.

Position the fence behind the router bit for the desired cutting depth (the distance of cut from the edge of the workpiece, as shown in fig. W.1).

Securely tighten Back Fence Fixing Bolts and lower the guard over the cutter.

Make the cut by sliding the straight edge of workpiece against the fence. Use a Pushstick as shown in fig. W.2. (For each successive cut, the fence would need to be re-adjusted).

fig. W.1

pushstick

fig. W.2

Using Mitre Fence

Your Mitre Fence will be required to give extra support for routing small workpieces or ends of large workpieces. See fig. X.

NOTE:

For all routing operations requiring use of the Mitre Fence along with the fence, be sure to align fence with

mitre bar slot before making any cuts. It is advisable to fit a waste piece of material to the Mitre

Fence or behind the component to prevent breakout of the wood grain.

If using Mitre Fence to trim the end off a piece of material, the Workpiece Support can be brought forward with the cutter to support the material after the cut, see fig. X.

Router Table for the Craftsman

Using The Profiling Top Guard

Example

A typical application using the Profiling Top Guard is in the routing of shields from MDF Board (Medium Density Fibreboard) as follows:

Gradually swing workpiece towards cutter until template engages the guide bearing.

Feed workpiece against the rotation of the cutter whilst swinging the workpiece away from the Lead-On Pin. At this point the guided bearing is acting as the guide. Progressively feed the workpiece anti-clockwise around the shape of the templateensuring that the guide bearing always stays in contact with the template.

When the complete edge of the workpiece has been machined, slide the workpiece away from the cutter.

If you are unfamiliar with the above procedure then the technique should be practised before switching on the router.

Design of shield

Producing a Shield

Construct an actual size template of the shield design from 6mm MDF, hardwood or plywood ensuring that it is accurate and free from imperfections. Remember the finished product will only be as good as the template.

Fix the template to the back of the workpiece to be used using screws or double sided tape.

Rough cut the workpiece to the shape of the template using a band saw or jigsaw leaving 2-3mm oversize.

Remove the Back Fence assembly from the table.

Fit the Lead-on Pin as described in section K.

Fit the fine height adjuster if one is available for your router. This will allow the height of the cutter to be adjusted accurately.

Fit a self-guided trimmer cutter.

Lay the workpiece (with template fitted) face down on the table surface. Adjust the height of the cutter using the plunge and lock mechanism on the router or use the fine height adjuster (if fitted). Ensure that the bearing will contact the template and the cutting edge of the cutter will machine the full edge of the workpiece. See fig. Y.1.

Special Notes

Always keep the workpiece moving in a precise steady movement to prevent the material from burning.

Never let go of the workpiece. Always keep an even pressure of the workpiece against the bearing. Do not use too much pressure.

If you wish to stop routing halfway through the operation. Simply slide the workpiece away from the cutter before switching off the router.

If the template inadvertently comes away from the bearing and so does not emulate the template, do not stop. Complete the operation and repeat the procedure for the edge concerned.

It is advisable to repeat the operation in order to improve the finish of the workpiece.

Keeps hands away from the cutter, even if the guard is fitted, in order to give a good safety margin.

Minimal finishing should be required before the next operation. If natural woods are used, consideration should be given to breakout of short grain which will effect your decision as to where to start the routing operation in order to prevent it.

Lock-off plunge mechanism of router to ensure that the plunge mechanism will not inadvertently move during routing.

10.

Fit the Profiling Top Guard as described in Section T and adjust height to give a 6-12mm gap between the top of cutter and underside of template.

11.

Switch router on and allow to reach full running speed.

Position the workpiece against the Lead-On Pin as shown in fig. Y.3. The Workpiece should not contact the cutter.

-24-

Moulding the Shield

Router Table for the Craftsman

A suitable bearing guided cutter should be chosen to mould the shield.

Remove plug from mains.

Fit chosen moulding cutter.

Adjust height of cutter to achieve shape required. If the full edge of the workpiece is to be machined leave the template attached to the workpiece so as to provide a guide for the bearing. Otherwise the template can be removed, providing there is sufficient edge for the bearing to follow. See fig Y.2.

Repeat the same routing procedure as before. If the profile required involves excessive removal of material, it is advisable to take two passes with the cutter. First reduce the height of the cutter protruding from the table, this in effect, reduces the amount of material which will be removed, or fit a larger bearing, if one is available for that particular cutter. The second pass can then be made to give the required finish.

Carrying out this two stage routing operation has many advantages.

Improved finish on workpiece

Less load on cutter and router

Far less risk of workpiece snatching

Definition of Snatching

This can be described as the cutter catching the workpiece and projecting it away from the direction of rotation. The workpiece is often taken from the operator's hands and projected across the work area. It can have potentially dangerous consequences if the cutter is unguarded and/or the operator's hands are too close to the cutter. Damage to the cutter can also be caused.

The following precautions should be made to avoid a potentially dangerous situation:

Fit the Profiling Top Guard, this will prevent fingers contacting the cutter.

Always rout in the direction which opposes the direction of rotation of the cutter. Routing with the direction of the cutter is called back-cutting and will cause snatching.

Use the Lead-On Pin to provide support for the workpiece during the initial start of the routing operation, it will also ensure that you approach the cutter from the correct side.

When a deep cut is required or the material is particularly dense, then take two or three passes.

Ensure the cutter always has a sharp cutting edge.

Do not reduce pressure of the workpiece or let go of it. Always keep both hands on the workpiece and keep an even pressure against the guide bearing.

Do not use too great a feed speed. If the revolutions of the router drop, it is a good indication that either too deep a pass is being made and/or the cutter is blunt. Therefore reduce the depth of cut and/or resharpen your cutter.

If the above points are followed, profile routing using bearing guided cutters is both safe and rewarding. It is however advisable for those new to routing to avoid using larger diameter cutters until proficient with the technique described. Under no circumstances should this type of operation be carried out with cutters not having a guide ball bearing or pin.

End Cutting with the Tenon Push Block

The Push Block facility is ideal for producing tenons and sliding dovetails.

The retractable dust guard cannot be used when carrying our push block operations. Therefore extra care must be taken to ensure that hands are kept well clear of the cutter.

Ensure that the workpiece is true and the end is square and smooth.

Mount push block assembly on the Back Fence,

see section L.

Fit the correct insert ring into the the insert plate to suit the diameter of the cutter being used, see section J.

Adjust the height and depth of the cutter to suit the cut required.

Position workpiece between Clamp Plate and Push Block so that it's side is flush against the

face of the Back Fence, the end to be cut is resting on the edge of the insert plate hole and edge marked with lines 'A' and 'B' is facing the router cutter. Clamp workpiece in this position by tightening the Wing Nut on the Clamp Rod while making sure that Clamp Plate stays orientated on workpiece. See fig.Z.2.

Slide Push Block and workpiece back to the position as shown in fig.Z.3. When routing, always feed against the rotation of the cutter. Feed workpiece in the direction shown by the arrow.

Switch router on. While holding Push Block and guidig workpiece against fence with both hands and fingers at a safe distance from cutter (fig.Z.3).

Turn router off, unclamp workpiece and slide Push Block back to original position.

Position and clamp the opposite side of workpiece (make sure the wing nut is tight just enough to clamp workpiece in position and end to be cut is resting on the edge of insert plate hole). Repeat step 6 and 7.

To cut ends of tenon, position and clamp workpiece so that the edge of the workpiece is held flush against the face of the fence and end to be cut should be resting on edge of insert plate hole. See fig.Z.4. Repeat steps 6 and 7.

10.

A scrap piece of timber should be placed behind the workpiece to prevent breakout.
