8. Router Set-up Tighten the thumbscrew!
Clamp the project to the table with wood screw clamps.
Plug the router in….. Turn the machine on
Make multiple passes! This means a lot of passes! Do not take the full cut off in one pass!
The bearing on the router bit will eventually touch your project and follow the edge.
