Abstract
Apparatus is provided for supporting and guiding a router for the purpose of routing an ornamental design in panels such as cabinet doors and drawer fronts. The router is attached to the end of a bar extending over the workpiece, the bar being slidable longitudinally in a carriage which in turn is movable on a rail extending at right angles to the bar. Adjustable stops are provided to limit movement of the bar and carriage so that the router may be guided in a rectangular path of movement of predetermined dimensions. Selectively usable templets are provided for changing the path of movement of the router, particularly at the corners of the predetermined rectangular path to vary the design being routed.
