Using Table Pins

The table pins are provided so you can use your router as

a "Pin Router" (see

Figure 17). Three double-sided table

pins are included with your overarm router in the follow-

ing sizes: 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2".

With a table pin installed, the operator can use a pre-

routed pattern jig to easily replicate a pattern onto a
workpiece that is clamped to the jig. See

Figure

for

details.

To use a table pin, do these steps:

1. Select the table pin size that matches the pre-rout-

ed groove in your jig. (These instructions assume

that you have done your own research on building

template jigs, and that you have built a jig before

attempting this operation.)

2. Insert the table pin into the hole in the center of

the table.

3. Make sure the shoulder on the table pin is flush with

the table top, and tighten it with the pin lock knob.

4. Place the pattern of your pre-routed jig over the

table pin, and make sure the pattern moves freely

over the table pin and does not bind or stop.

5. Adjust the plunge depth just beyond the thickness

of the workpiece you will clamp onto the jig.

6. Start the router, plunge the router bit into the

workpiece, and guide the jig along the pre-routed

channel in the bottom to cut the workpiece clamped

to the top.
