Shaping with a Router - MetosExpo - Free

Methods of Work (continued)
Quick tip: A clean collet is an absolute must to avoid the disasterous
consequences of a router bit slipping up or down in the
collet when routing. A gun cleaning kit for a 22-caliber weapon has
eveLything you need: a small brass brush and patd1 cleaning swabs
that fit just right in d1e collet. -L. Frederick, Aspen, Colo.
Laying out cams with string
to begin. Unwind the string by moving the pencil away from d1e
cylinder. The point of the pencil will scribe a can1 that expands in
proportion to the diameter of the cylinder. Because d1e distance
from d1e center of the can1 increases at a constant rate, the resulting
cam will have a smood1 and conu'olled action.
-E. W Carson, Blacksburg, Va.
Metal pins eliminate miter slippage
As string unwinds
from can, the pencil
will draw a smooth
cam shape.
Brads are inserted
in mating holes to
keep miter aligned
during glue-up.
The easiest way to draw a cam is to use the unwinding sU'ing principle-tie
a sU'ing around a cylinder of suitable size to create the
desired can1 shape. Aluminum food cans are often about the right
size. First, tie a length of sU'ing around the can, and tie a loop in
the end of the string. Then wind the sU'ing fully around d1e cylinder,
and place a pencil in the loop with the point where the cam is
This method of using metal pins to prevent miter slippage during
glue-up is good on odd-shaped mitered pieces, like the bracket feet
in d1e sketd1, that might otheLwise require special clamping jigs.
Start by placing one of the joint halves, miter side up, on d1e
drill-press table. Select a bit d1e same size as an IS·gauge brad,
