Pulling the main lever downward starts the machining cycle:
- Padded hold-down plate secures work-piece and motor is switched on
- Continued pulling advances the router head until pre-set height is reached
- Releasing the lever returns the motor to its home position and shuts off motor
- Padded hold-down plate releases work-piece
With the operator controlling the speed of all machine movements, output is greatly depended on material flow, handling and operator performance.
On its backside, the large heavy-duty cast aluminium machine base has a 50mm diameter dust collection port to connect a shop vacuum for dust free operation.
The supplied router bit is solid tungsten carbide, made to exacting specifications. Depending on the routing depth and the material to be routed, the usable cutter life is approx. 10,000 strokes, often times even more. Every machine is shipped with a tool kit and set-up jig, which allows a router bit change in only minutes.
