Description

The dowelling template DE6256 allows you to make professional dowel 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

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

Adjusting the template bolts (fig. C1 - C6)

The template is held in place with two threaded bolts (2). If the bolts do not fit correctly into the lugs on the attachment, adjust as follows:

- Slacken the nuts (6) using a spanner (7).

- Place the template onto the attachment. Make sure that the adjustment bushes (3) are in front of the lugs (10) and the star knobs (1) behind the lugs. Insert the bolts correctly into the slots (9).

- Tighten the star knobs (1).

- Securely tighten the nuts (6).

Adjusting the automatic centre locator for edge dowelling (fig. D1 - D29)

• If the workpieces are wider than 280 mm, remove the centre locking knobs.
• Slide the displacement stops (11) out of the way to each end of the dovetailing attachment.
• Place two scrap pieces of wood (12) of the same thickness (>10 mm) under the ends of the top vice (13) to support the template. Position the front edge of the wood 30 mm behind the front edge of the dovetailing attachment (fig. D3) to allow the centering bar to move freely.
• Loosen the four screws (16).
• Push the cylindrical part (17) of the plastic cams (18) through the end holes in the template from below. One of the small holes (19) should point to the front.
• Insert a tommy bar (20) into the hole (19) in each of the cams.
• Mount the two spring-loaded anchor assemblies (21) by sliding the rod into the centering bar (14) as shown (fig. D8).
• Hold the rod (24) and push it towards the centre of the attachment to move the head (23) out. Push the rod (24) backwards to line up the head (23) with the rear centering bar (15) and rotate the rod to engage the head.
• Place the workpiece (26) vertically in the attachment and tighten the front vice (27).
• Place the top of the workpiece (28) approx. 10 mm above the top surface of the scrap wood (12). Do not fully tighten the front vice to allow the workpiece to be moved.
• Slacken the Allen screws (4) in the adjustment bushes (3) using a 2 mm Allen key.
• Slacken the locknut (5).
• Adjust the bushes (3) and star knobs (1) to set a distance of approx. 25 mm between the bushes (3) and the lugs (10).
• Place the template on the attachment. The threaded bolts (2) should move freely through the lugs (10) (fig. D14).
• Use the tommy bars (20) to rotate the cams (17) and open the centering bars (14) and (15). The template is positioned on the workpiece (26).

• Release the tommy bars (20) to close the centering bars.

• Push the template down until its feet are resting on the scrap wood and its front is resting on the workpiece (26) (fig. D16 & D17).

• Firmly tighten the front vice (27).
• Open the cams (17) and allow them to return slowly to their rest position. This will position the dowelling holes in the centre of the workpiece (fig. D18).
• Firmly tighten the four screws (16). The spring-loaded anchor assemblies (21) may now be removed.
• Hold the template down and rotate the adjustment bushes (3) against the lugs. Tighten the Allen screws (4) and the locknuts (5). Tighten the star knobs (1).
• Unclamp the workpiece and reposition it laterally to set the dowelling holes to the required position (fig. D25).
• Slide one of the displacement stops (11) against the side of the workpiece (fig. D26).
• Remove the template, the tommy bars (20) and the cams (18).
• Unclamp the scrap wood (12) and move it to the front against the workpiece. Unclamp the workpiece and align the top edge (28) with the top surface of the scrap wood (12) (fig. D27). Check with a set square.
• Firmly clamp the workpiece and move the scrap wood back to its former position (fig. D28).
• Replace the template and firmly clamp it in position with the star knobs.

Preparing the router (fig. E1 & E2)

• Fit the guide bush (31) to the router base using the screws (32) as shown.
• Mount the cutter (33) in the collet.

Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. F1 - F3)

The total depth of the mating bores in the two parts to be dowelled together should exceed the length of the dowel (34) by 3 mm.

• The depth of the bore in the horizontal workpiece (35) should be 3 mm less than the thickness of the wood.

• The depth of the bore in the vertical workpiece (26) should be 3 mm more than the difference between the dowel length and the horizontal bore depth.

• Place the router on the template with the nose of the guide bush in one of the holes (36). Plunge the router until the cutter is touching the vertical workpiece.

• Set the depth adjuster to the correct cutting depth.
• Allow the cutter to return to its rest position.

Locating the mating part for boring matching blind dowel holes (fig. G1 - G6)

• Slacken the two screws (16) holding the rear centering bar (15) by one turn. Remove the bar by moving it to the front and passing the screws through the holes (37).
• Remove the centre locking knob and place the workpiece (38) under the top vice (13). Place the template and tighten the star knobs.
• Slide the workpiece against the front vice (14) and displacement stop (11) and tighten the top vice (13).
• Set the correct cutting depth as described above.

Dowelling holes in the centre of the workpiece (fig. H1 - H5)

• Draw a line (39) on the workpiece (40) to mark the centre of the required holes.
• Remove the centering bars from the template.
• Slide the workpiece with the line (39) facing up onto the attachment and into the top vice (13). The line (39) should be approximately in line with the front of the attachment. Slide the workpiece against the displacement stop.
• Place the template and tighten the star knobs.
• Adjust the workpiece (40) to exactly align the line (39) with the marking (41) on the template.
• Tighten the top vice.

Edge dowelling on long workpieces (fig. J1 - J7)

• Centre and lock the template on a piece of wood of the same thickness as the workpiece.
• Remove the piece of wood, leaving the template locked in place.
  • Take the attachment from the workbench.
• Clamp the workpiece in vertical position against a workbench (fig. J1).

• Remove the displacement stops (11) and the front vice (27) from the attachment.

• Place the attachment over the workpiece, ensuring that the centering bars are located on each side of the workpiece (fig. J4). There should be a 4.5 mm gap between the top edge of the workpiece and the template (fig. J5).

• After boring the first hole, the appropriate locating pin should be inserted to stabilise the attachment.
• After boring all holes in the template, move the attachment along the workpiece until the first hole in the template is aligned with the last hole in the workpiece and continue working.

Instructions for use

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

Routing the dowelling holes (fig. F2)

• Make the adjustments as described above.
• Switch the router on.
• Plunge the cutter evenly into the workpiece to the required depth.

Do not plunge the cutter too slowly.

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
