The
machine can be used in two different modes of operation:
Hand-held operation:
The hand-held machine is placed on the workpiece to rout
dovetail keyways, either with the aid of stops or with layout
marks.
Stationary
operation: The machine is mounted to a workbench with either
screws or clamps. Material is then placed on the inverted
machine and keyways are routed with the aid of stops or
with layout marks.
After locating the keyway position,
the machine is switched on and the keyway is routed into the
material. The maximum router travel is 2 3/8” which
is determined by a stop collar and scaled guide rod.
The machine features heavy-duty aluminum castings for reliable
operation, precision linear bearings and a sight glass for
quick work with layout marks. It is designed for Do-it-yourselfers
and smaller professional woodworking shops and is also ideal
for on-site and installation work.
Please note that beaded face-frame moulding cannot be joined
with this model.
