3. ASSEMBLY
Router Bit Selection
Depending on processing and application, router
bits are available in the most different designs and
qualities:
Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS) are
suitable for working with soft materials, e. g. soft
wood and plastic.
Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are particularly
suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g. hard
wood and aluminium.
Mounting and removing cutters
Fig. C
Only use cutters with a shaft diameter which
corresponds with the size of the collet. Only use
cutters which are suited for the maximum speed
of the machine. The cutter diameter should not
exceed the maximum diameter.
Never tighten the collet nut, if there is no router bit
in the collet; the collet may be damaged.
