5: Setting Tools in the Laminate Trimmer
The easiest method of performing a tool change is to remove the
laminate trimmer from the machine head. Transfer the laminate
trimmer to a suitable workbench, where it can be held securely,
since changing the tool is a two handed operation.
Tools required:
• 2 x Multi-use C Spanner (supplied).
Your microrouter must
only be used with
standard 1/4” or 1/8”
shank routing bits,
capable of running
safely at speeds of
26,500RPM.

Removing a Tool.
Position the first multi-use spanner around the locking nut on the
end of the laminate trimmer shaft (use the conventional spanner
end).
Position the second multi-use spanner around the fixture on the
spindle motor shaft (use the C segment end). Position this spanner
in the opposite direction to prevent the spindle from rotating as the
locking nut is released (see below).

Removing the
Locking Nut.
Refitting a Tool.
Place the appropriate collet into the end of the laminate trimmer
shaft (a). The collet is the tapered, tubular, split metal casing. Hand
thread the locking nut back onto the laminate trimmer shaft (b), then
place the new cutting tool into this assembly (c). Refer to the
diagrams on the next page...
To loosen the locking nut, when directly viewing the end of the
laminate trimmer shaft:
• Turn the multi-use spanner around the locking nut in an
anticlockwise direction.
• Turn the multi-use spanner around the laminate trimmer shaft in
a clockwise direction.
Caution.
If the cutting tool has
been recently used, it
may still be HOT.
