Description

The finger jointing template DE6255 allows you to make professional finger joints using your DE6252 dovetailing attachment and DW613, DW620, DW621, Elu MOF96(E) or Elu MOF177(E) router.

Assembly and adjustment

Also refer to your router manual.

Preparing the dovetailing attachment (fig. A & B)

- Prepare the dovetailing attachment as described in the DE6252 manual.

- Adjust the template as described in the DE6252 manual.

Preparing the router (fig. C1 & C2)

- Fit the guide bush (1) to the router base using the screws (2) as shown.

- Remove the depth stop and replace it with the fine adjuster (DE6956) available as an option.

- Connect the threaded rod of the fine adjuster to the revolver depth stop.

Using the displacement stops (fig. D1 & D2)

When making finger joints, the different parts are routed one at a time in the vertical position.

- One part (4) is located directly against the displacement stop (5) (fig. D1).

- For the mating part, the 8 mm stop pin (6) is installed onto the stop. Locate the mating part (7) against this pin (fig. D2).

Marking and clamping the workpiece (fig. E1 - E6)

• Slide the displacement stop (5) to a suitable position to obtain the desired slot and finger positions.
• Tighten the screw (15) (fig. E5).
• To avoid chipping, clamp a piece of scrap wood (8) in horizontal position behind the workpiece. The wood should be at least 22 mm thick and 25 mm wider than the workpiece.
• If the workpiece is mounted only on one side of the attachment, use another piece of scrap wood (9) with the same thickness to support the template on the other side.
• Draw a marking line on the workpiece at a distance from the top equal to the thickness of the wood (fig. E2).
• Position the workpiece (4) in vertical position against the stop (5) as specified above. The marking line should face to the front. Use a set square to check that the wood in horizontal position is flush with the top of the workpiece.
• Tighten the locking knobs on the dovetailing attachment.
• Place the template on the dovetailing attachment.
• Place the template onto the attachment. Make sure that the adjustment bushes are in front of the lugs and the star knobs behind the lugs (also refer to the dovetailing attachment manual).
• The border between the vertical and horizontal parts should coincide with the marking line (13) on the template fingers.

To adjust, proceed as follows:

• Slacken the Allen screws in the adjustment bushes using the 2 mm Allen key.
• Slacken the locknut.
• Move the adjustment bushes as required to obtain the correct setting for the template.
• Tighten the locknut.
• Tighten the Allen screws using the 2 mm Allen key.
• Tighten the star knobs.
• For the mating part, do not move the displacement stop. Install the 8 mm stop pin (6) (fig. D2) and proceed as described above.

Mounting and adjusting the cutter (fig. F)

• Completely lower the router carriage and lock it in this position.
• Mount the cutter in the collet as described in the router manual.
• Use the fine adjuster of the router to set the cutter so that the tip of the cutter just reaches the marking line on the workpiece.

Instructions for use

• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
- Also refer to your router manual.

Routing the fingers and slots (fig. G1 - G3)

• Place the router on the fingers of the template.
• Switch the router on.
• Carefully guide the router from right to left along the tops of the fingers.
• Move the router from left to right, inserting it carefully into the fingers until the copying bush is in contact with the edge of the template.

• Never lift the router out of the template; this could result in damage to the template and the cutter.
• When moving the router onto and from the template, make sure that the router is switched off.

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
