Abstract
An accessory is provided for use with routing apparatus to facilitate the routing of arcuate designs in cabinet doors and similar panels. The routing apparatus is of the type in which a router is mounted on the end of a bar for extension over a panel to be routed and in which the router can be moved in any direction in a plane parallel to the panel by reason of the bar being mounted in a carrier for longitudinal movement in one dimension of the panel, and the carrier being mounted for movement parallel to the other dimension of the panel. The accessory comprises a radius arm which may be adjustably connected at one end to the bar and is slidably mounted in a pivot block mounted for movement in the same direction as the carriage. An adjustable stop on the radius arm limits its longitudinal movement and an adjustable stop limits movement of the pivot block whereby the router can be guided in a preselected curved path by causing the radius arm to pivot around the pivot block.
