How the Multi-Router Works

 

The Multi-Router system of templates, traced by a ball bearing stylus is an accurate and uncomplicated method of producing woodworking joints. The ball bearing stylus simulates the exact movements of the router bit and the template simulates the exact movements of the piece of wood. Following the template while cutting enables you to produce any type of joint accurately and consistently. Such consistency can not be found with any other machine. Such consistency is vital for producing identical pieces, such as chairs for a dinning set.

Two Template Systems For Making Tenons

 
 
STANDARD TEMPLATES  
The Standard Template System is recommended when the woodworker utilizes a dimensionally accurate cutting bit. The Standard Template System consists of fourteen different sized tenon templates.
 
STANDARD TEMPLATE SIZES  
Tenon Size
Width
1/4
1, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3
3/8
1, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3
1/2
1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3
 
 
VARIABLE SIZE TEMPLATES  
Variable size templates are used to compensate for dimensionally inaccurate cutting bits. Undersized cutting bits may be caused by sharpening the bit, or by inaccuracies in the original size of the bit. The Variable Size Template System consists of fourteen different sized tenon templates. Each tenon size comes with a set of three inserts marked "A", "B", and "C". A complete system of all of the sizes below contains 42 inserts and 1 master holder.
The woodworker selects the size insert that is needed, attaches it to the master, and makes the desired tenon. Of the three sizes "A" is on dimension, "B" will produce a tenon .010 smaller than "A", and "C" will produce a tenon .010 smaller than "B." This will give you a tremendous amount of flexibility if you sharpen your bits, or if you machine different species of wood.
