TWO TYPES OF OINTS WITH THE SAME BASIC IIG

Insert a spacer in the mortising jig where this leg's taper begins. That keeps the jig parallel to the mortised surface.

Because the holes on this doweling jig are nea 1 the board's end, use a same-thickness scrap for a spacer.

ANATOMY OF A PLUNGE ROUTER

As the name suggests, a plunge router's bread and butter is its ability to lower a bit onto a workpiece and make any number ol cuts, su<h as stopped dadoes or mortises, without needing an entry 6r exit point along an edge or end. Internal springs make it snap straight tip after you finish the cut. You control the depth ol cut with a stop rod that contacts a multi-position, rotating turret stop. Using multiple stops, you can rout deeply in small increments before getting lo the final depth, avoiding grain tear-out and saving wear on the motor and bit.

In addition to handheld use, a plunge router also excels mounted in a router table, Many models now include built-in lilt mechanisms, including some that raise the collet high enough lor above-the-(able bit changing. Dedicated plunge routers, such as the one shown below, do not fit into afternwket router lifts, bul the motors from multibase models (ones that interchange between plunge and fixed bases) fit most lifts and can be easily removed for handheld use in their bases.

Plunge routers range ia si*e from the 1.1-hp Trend T4 (essentially a trim router in a plunge base) to midsize models with 1 'v lo 2V* hp to monster routers with 3-plus hp. Most midsize and larger routers come with variable-speed) motors and V<* and Vf collets,
