Micrometer Case

Step 2 Set up Clamps and Guides

Place the bottom on a work bench or large board you will not be afraid to drive nails or screws into. Using some scrap wood clamp around the piece so that it will not move when you are routing it. Make sure that the scraps you use are the same or a smaller thickness so that they will not interfere with the router. Also make sure the screws/nails don't hit the router base.

Now position the tool onto the base and using a pencil roughly trace around said tool. Remove tool and using a combination square mark out the strait cuts. This tool only produces on going down the spindle and sleeve.

Measure you router to determine the dimension of the routers base. That is the dimension from the cutter to the outside edge. Mine was 3 inches. This way I can setup a guide 3 inches from my strait cut. This makes a better looking recess
