4. Configuración
Proper setup of the LO-FA 207200 adapter is crucial for accurate and safe operation.
4.1 Attaching the Adapter to the Router
- Ensure your Mafell LO 65 Ec router is unplugged from the power source.
- Align the mounting points of the LO-FA 207200 adapter with the corresponding attachment points on the base of your Mafell LO 65 Ec router.
- Securely fasten the adapter using the provided screws or clamping mechanisms. Ensure there is no wobble or play.
4.2 Adjusting for Circle Routing
To cut circles or arcs, the adapter uses a pivot point. The milling radius can be adjusted from 97 mm to 380 mm.
- Insert the compass pin into the designated bore on the adapter. The compass pin bore diameter is 4.5 mm.
- Loosen the adjustment knobs on the guide rods.
- Slide the router along the guide rods until the desired milling radius is achieved. Measure from the center of the router bit to the center of the compass pin.
- Tighten the adjustment knobs firmly to lock the radius setting.
4.3 Adjusting for Edge Guiding
For straight edge routing, the adjustable stop jaws are used.
- Loosen the locking mechanisms for the stop jaws.
- Adjust the stop jaws to the desired offset from the router bit. The adjustment range is 0 - 54 mm.
- Ensure both stop jaws are parallel to the router bit and tighten their locking mechanisms.
4.4 Height Compensation
The adapter offers a 6 mm height compensation feature, useful for specific routing depths or material thicknesses. Consult your router's manual for detailed depth setting procedures.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Once the LO-FA 207200 adapter is properly set up, you can begin your routing operation.
5.1 Consejos generales de funcionamiento
- Always perform a test cut on scrap material to verify settings and ensure desired results.
- Maintain a firm grip on the router and adapter during operation.
- Move the router smoothly and consistently through the material. Avoid forcing the tool.
- Para cortes más profundos, haga varias pasadas, incrementandoasing la profundidad con cada pasada.
5.2 Circle Routing Technique
Figure 5.1: The Mafell LO-FA 207200 Router Adapter in use for cutting a precise circle. The compass pin acts as a pivot point, guiding the router along the desired radius.
- Mark the center point of your desired circle on the workpiece.
- Drill a small pilot hole at the center point, suitable for the compass pin.
- Insert the compass pin into the pilot hole.
- With the router bit clear of the workpiece, turn on the router.
- Slowly plunge the router bit into the material and begin rotating the router around the compass pin in a clockwise direction for conventional routing, or counter-clockwise for climb routing (refer to router manual for bit rotation and feed direction).
- Maintain consistent pressure and speed for a clean cut.
5.3 Edge Guiding Technique

- Ensure the stop jaws are correctly set for the desired offset from the edge.
- Place the adapter's stop jaws firmly against the edge of the workpiece.
- With the router bit clear of the workpiece, turn on the router.
- Slowly plunge the router bit into the material.
- Guide the router along the edge, keeping the stop jaws consistently pressed against the workpiece edge.
- Maintain a steady feed rate for a smooth and even cut.
6. Mantenimiento
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LO-FA 207200 Router Adapter.
- Limpieza: After each use, disconnect the adapter from the router and clean it thoroughly. Remove all dust, wood chips, and debris using a brush or compressed air. Avoid using solvents that may damage the material.
- Inspección: Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Pay close attention to guide rods, adjustment mechanisms, and clamppuntos de ing.
