Tip: As an alternative to fabricating a custom jig,

use the Shop Fox Model W1500 Right Angle Jig, as

shown in Figure 26.

3. Remove the fence assembly from the table.

4. Fabricate and mount a custom guard over the bit

that safely protects your hands from the spinning

cutter.

5. Insert the starting pin in the best suited hole on

the routing table or clamp a starting block to the

table (see

Figure 25 on the previous page for an

example).

6. Install a router bit with a rub collar as directed by

the router manufacturer's instructions, then raise it

to the desired height (see

Figure 27).

7. Connect the router to power and turn it ON.

8. Rest the jig with the workpiece attached against the

starting pin or block, then slowly pivot and feed it

into the bit. After the cut is started, move the jig

against the rub collar and away from the starting pin

or block, as illustrated in

Figure 24 on the previous

page.
