OPERATION

Carefully remove the protective wax from the cutter and dispose.

Insert the cutter shank into the collet at least all the way to the marked line indicated on the shank. Ensure at least 3/4 of the shank length is held in the collet.

To achieve the best results the tenon shoulder should not be less than 11mm or 15mm thick depending on whether a 35mm or 44mm thick frame is required.

As with all good working practice, certain procedures should be followed to achieve safe and practical machining. The ideal machining method is as follows:

Prepare timber with a square face and edge,

then plane remaining surfaces.

Mark out fully from the original drawing.

3. Machine all mortises.

4. Cut the shoulders on the tenons and remove

the waste. Cut in any haunches where necessary.

When making solid doors or panels, machine

the groove to take the fielded panels. When making window sashes and glazing panels, a rebate will be required for the glass.

In addition to the above you may have to prepare various jigs and templates to help construct the finished article, this maybe a Bull’s Eye window, cathedral arch etc.

With 1 - 5 complete, you are now ready to use the shoulder scribe set, remember to use the scribe cutter first and the profile cutter second.

The Scriber

The profile and the scriber have been produced with 1/4” shanks to keep the outside cutting diameter to a minimum, therefore making them available for all makes of router.

Due to the nature of the scriber it has to machine through the toughest part of the timber, the end grain, which unfortunately leaves the cutter susceptible to breakage if not used in accordance with these instructions. At least three passes are required in soft wood (e.g. pine) and four to five in hard wood (e.g oak). Taking shallower passes will increase the life of a cutter and gives a better finish. The scriber is designed to scribe the square shoulder (of the tenon) over the given profile that has been produced on the rails, stiles and mullions etc. Please follow these instructions:

The shoulder should be cut so as to leave

enough material for the cutter to produce the scribe. This distance is governed from the edge of the ball bearing to the cutter tip. See Fig. A.

Fig. A

2. The recommended machining method

is to use the router inverted in a table. Set the cutter to the relevant height and then adjust the back fence to cut the appropriate depth. The back fence should also be aligned parallel to any sliding fence that may be used. By looking at Fig. B you will notice that a low false fence will have to be made or the original adapted to allow the tenon to pass over it.

Fig. B

3. The scribe is cut first so that if any

breakout occurs the profile operation will remove the splinters. In some instances the scribe will break-out on the bottom of the rail where the profile will not be used. In this case a spelch block will be needed for the cutter to prevent the break-out. This can be made out of any waste material and should be exactly square. By making a spelch block, the material you are cutting can be supported 90° to the back fence. The spelch block can incorporate toggle clamps, dust extraction and protection guards,(work holder).

The Profile

The profile cutters of the shoulder scribe and profile sets have a larger quirk to give greater definition and to match closer to original doors and frames that may already be in use.

The profile cutter is used along the grain. It is still advisable to take shallow passes on harder timbers. Please follow this setting-up procedure and see Fig. C.

1. Depending on the number of passes required, the height of the cutter needs to be set at various depths resulting in the final pass lining up with the scribe cut.

2. Before the first pass is taken the back fence should be set level with the profile’s ballbearing giving the material support along it’s length.

3. Each item to be profiled can now be machined.

SPARE PARTS

Please use only Trend original spare parts and accessories.

MAINTENANCE

Continual satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

■ Remove resin build-up regularly.

■ Apply a rust protector to shanks. Do not

use rust protector on ball bearing guides.

Lubrication

■ Use a PTFE dry lubricant spray on tool.

■ Apply a rust protector to shanks. Do not

use rust protector on ball bearing guides.

Storage

■ Always return cutter to its packaging after use.

Safety Points

1. Disconnect power tool and attachment from power supply when not in use, before servicing, when making adjustments and when changing accessories such as cutters. Ensure switch is in “off” position and cutter has stopped rotating.

2. Read and understand instructions supplied with power tool, attachment and cutter.

3. Current Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for eye, ear and respiratory protection must be worn. Keep hands, hair and clothes clear of the cutter.

4. Before each use check cutter is sharp and free from damage. Do not use if cutter is dull, broken or cracked or if any damage is noticeable or suspected.

5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on tool or in instructions or on packaging shall not be exceeded. Where stated, the speed range should be adhered to.

6. Insert the shank into the router collet at least all the way to the marked line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least 3/4 of shank length is held in collet. Ensure clamping surfaces are clean.

7. Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts and screws on power tool, attachment and cutting tools are correctly assembled, tight and to correct torque setting before use.

8. Ensure all visors, guards and dust extraction is fitted.

9. The direction of routing must always be opposite to the cutter’s direction of rotation.

10. Do not switch power tool on with the cutter touching the workpiece.

11. Trial cuts should be made in waste material before starting any project.

12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to tool manufacturers instructions.

13. Do not take deep cuts in one pass, take shallow passes to reduce the side load applied to the cutter.
