4. WORK HOLDING & WORKPIECE REQUIREMENTS
- The Benchtop Board Mill accepts workpieces with a minimum height of 3/4″ and a maximum height of 3″. When selecting the location of your workpiece on the table, consider the location and travel of the Benchtop Board Mill.
- Secure your workpiece to the table using clamp dogs, double sided tape, or similar. Ensure there will be no collision with the router bit.
5. ROUTER OPERATION
- Consult your router manufacturer’s recommendations and choose the correct RPM for the router bit.
- Unplug your router and set the depth of of your router bit to remove 1/16″-1/8″ from your workpiece. Multiple passes will yield the best results.
- After making a cut, ensure the router bit is clear of the work piece before advancing the sled. Advance the sled, guiding the Sacrificial Fence along the edge of the workpiece.
- Depending on your router base’s radius, the maximum width of the workpiece is around 15″ (based on 6″ router base and 1″ diameter cutter).
NOTE: The Benchtop Board Mill requires a minimum router base diameter of 4-7/8″.
