Festool Plunge Router I 用户手册

Nearly all routing operations can be improved by making 

multiple passes. In some cases the routing operation would 

remove too mach material to be completed safely in a single 

pass. In other cases, the finished cut is improved by making 

a shallow, clean-up pass. Depending on the type of cut being 

made, some multi-pass cuts are made by varying the depth 

and others are made by varying the position. The different 

types are shown below. 

Multi-depth Ploughing 
 
 
When ploughing out large volumes 

of material or making deep dados, 

make the cuts using successively 

deeper settings until the final depth 

is reached. The three positions of the 

depth stop turret are well suited for 

this type of operation. 

 

Multi-depth Profiles 
 
There are several reasons for making 

multiple passes with edge forming, profile 

cutters. 

► 

For large profiles, a shallow first-pass can 

be made to remove the bulk of the material.  

► 

Several shallow passes can be made for 

better control with large router bits. 

► 

A final, shallow, clean-up pass can improve 

the quality of the finished edge. 

 

Multi-position (horizontal) Profiles 
 
Altering the horizontal position of a router 

cut for multiple passes is required whenever 

the profile cuts back into the workpiece in a 

way that changing the depth would destroy 

the desired profile. A common example of 

this is a slot cutter. A common problem with 

this type of cutter is that sharp corners 

between the cut profile and the uncut wood 

edge will tend to tear out. This can be 

reduced by making a very shallow scoring 

cut before making a full profile cut.
