Re: router carriage racks when using template follower

I set mine up as a front mounted template follower as well. My problem is sticking. i use tension to pull the follower into the template (I read some previous posts on using a bungee - excellent idea). However, when the template pushes the router carriage, the carriage twists and binds up in the y-

Re: router carriage racks when using template follower

when you say racking do you mean sticking and hard to move or loose and moving around sticking can be caused by dust build up in the rails and can be fixed by blowing and cleaning the rails regularly and using dynaglide to keep everything smooth movement or slop when doing some template work can
