How to Make Crown Moulding With a Router
- 1). Put on the safety goggles.
- 2). Mount the router in the router table per the instructions with the router table.
- 3). Choose the router bit that will create the desired profile for the moulding.
- 4). Insert and mount the router bit into the router per the instructions with the router.
- 5). Adjust the router bit up and down to get the right amount of the bit sticking above the table. Look down the table to see what portion is sticking up and will be cutting.
- 6). Move the backstop guide into place next to the router bit. This process will determine how far the bit cuts into the wood.
- 7). Place the strip of wood behind the router bit and against the table's backstop. Look down the backstop to see the exact profile that will be created by the router bit. If the profile is incorrect, adjust the router bit up and down and the backstop back and forth until the profile is correct.
- 8). Plug in the router.
- 9). Feed the strip of wood through the router per the instructions provided with the router and router table. Always keep your hands away from a spinning router bit.
