Laminate Trim Guide

Unpiloted laminate trim bits require the use of

a trim guide which may be fitted to models

1608, 1608LX, or 1609A. Mount the guide 9 to

the bottom of the base in either pair of holes

(1609A has one pair of holes) with the screws

provided, and be sure the bit clears the trim

guide by at least 1/16" (1.5 mm) to avoid

damage. The horizontal position of the guide

determines the amount of material removed by

the bit. To adjust, loosen screw 13 and turn

adjuster 12 to move the guide in or out. Tighten

screw 13, and make a trial cut to check the

setting and readjust as necessary. For making

straight or bevel cuts, align the tip of the guide

with the cutting edge of the bit to produce the

desired amount of cutter exposure that will

trim the laminate flush or create the desired

bevel.

Refer to instruction sheet included with deluxe

trim guide (1608LX, 1609KX) for additional

adjustments required for that guide.

1608T

With the motor fastened tightly in the clamp-

ing ring and a bit installed, loosen the depth

locking screw 18 with a screwdriver approxi-

mately 1/4 turn. Raise or lower the base by

turning the slotted gear 19, and retighten screw

18 firmly when the desired adjustment is

achieved. Do not overtighten.

Model 1608T has an angular adjustment range

of 75 degrees—45 degrees in one direction,

and 30 degrees in the other. To set the angle,

loosen the wing nuts 20 on either side of the

base, tilt motor to the desired angle, and re-

tighten the wing nuts. Be careful not to over-

tighten, or the base may be damaged.

When tilted, model 1608T will trim laminated

tops up to a vertical backsplash or on irregular

corners. Use a suitable self-piloted bit such as

Bosch, and guide the trimmer as shown in

Figure 13.

Underscribe Trimmer—Model 1608U

The underscribe trimmer is designed to cut

plastic laminates when creating joints between

pieces of such material. Properly adjusted, the

router will produce very accurate seams be-

tween adjacent sections of the laminated sur-

face.

To install the underscribe base insert the bit

into the collet as described earlier in this manual.

Slide the clamping ring of the base onto the

motor's lower bearing housing as far as it will

go, and carefully tighten the clamp ring screw.

Now adjust the bit until the tip just enters the

machined recess in the aluminum plate of the

underscribe guide. Your tool is now assembled,

and ready to make a test cut in some surplus

material before beginning work.
