Backfence
To allow easy and accurate
adjustment, the backfence slides
in v-grooves cast into the
aluminium table top and can be
set to precise measurements
against a graduated scale.
Planing Fence
By setting the planing fence proud of the backfence
cheeks, planing or moulding operations that remove
material across the full face of the workpiece can be made.
As the material is removed, the exposed face of the wood
is supported against the adjustable planing fence.
Guard
To minimise the risk of finger contact
with the cutter and waste material
being thrown up into the operators
eyes, a clear plastic guard is fitted that
automatically rides over the material
as it is fed across the cutter. By
reducing the open area around the
cutter, the guard also increases the
efficiency of the dust extraction port
in the rear of the backfence. The
guard is fitted using a quick release
pivot pin to allow easy removal for
cleaning and maintenance.
No-Volt Release Switch
Autumn 1999
This provides a quick on and off facility for the
router. It also prevents the router from starting
up without warning after an unintentional
interruption to the power supply. The router
power lead is plugged into the switch, which in
turn is plugged into a normal power socket.
