How do I control the darn router? Newbie question.
I need to route a square approx. 1 inch by 5 inches by 1/8 inches deep in a
piece of 10 foot 1x8. I have never tried to do this before. I have a porter cable 691 with a plunge base and I set the depth guage up and tried to "free hand" it on a test piece of lumber. Well - let's just say that free handing is out of the question. How should I do this to get a "perfect" square? I kind of figure I need a "4 sided edge guide". An edge guide won't work on all sides as it won't extend long enough into the board for two of the sides. I'm at a loss. TIA Eric |
