PORTER-CABLE MAGIC GUIDE
IMPORTANT
Please make certain that the person who is to use this equipment carefully
reads and understands these instructions before starting operations.
INTRODUCTION
In the following pages are outlined the basic applications for the Magic
Guide. Study them carefully before using your Magic Guide. We suggest
that you practice making the basic cuts on scrap material to thoroughly
acquaint yourself with the manipulation of the router when used with the
Magic Guide.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury, including the rules on Page 2 and 3.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
AND THE MANUAL FOR YOUR ROUTER.
There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-
Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used
for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any
questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have
written Porter-Cable and we have advised you.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard
or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized seNice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing loss.
21. NEVER ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT WHILE MOTOR IS RUNNING. A
slip at this time may cause personal injury, or damage to cutter or
workpiece.
22. BE SURE CORD SET IS FREE and will not “hang up” during routing
operations.
23. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF CUTTER when motor is running to
prevent personal injury.
24. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP on router when starting motor to resist
starting torque.
25. STAY ALERT and keep cutter clear of all foreign objects while motor
is running.
26. BE SURE MOTOR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED before setting
machine down between operations.
27. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE
TOXIC. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when
working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information
available from your material supplier.

mounted in place and held with the screw, washer and wing nut shown at
the bottom center of Fig. 1.
ATTACHING MAGIC GUIDE TO ROUTER
In all applications, the Magic Guide’s guide rods are secured to the router
in the holes provided in the router, as shown at (A) Fig. 5. Make sure you
select the proper width so that the guide rods are straight. To secure the
rods, use the two screws provided with the guide, one of which is shown
at (B) Fig. 5.
APPLICATION: EDGE GUIDE
Fig. 3 shows the type of work done with the Magic Guide used as a
simple Edge Guide.
Make sure router is disconnected from power
supply while making adjustments and installing or removing bits
and cutters.
Adjustments:
1. Loosen short, knurled lock nut (A) Fig. 2.
2. Adjust movable shoe plate, by turning long, knurled nut (B) Fig. 2 until
it is in line with wall of the base plate.
3. Check alignment with a straight edge.
4. Tighten short, knurled nut (A) to lock shoe plate.
5. Select a bit that will make the desired width of cut and install it in your
router.
6. Loosen all three knurled screws (C,D and E) Fig. 5, and adjust guide
so router will make cut desired distance from edge of work.
7. Tighten knurled screw (E) only. A final, fine adjustment of the position of
the router is now made with the micro-adjusting screw (F).
8. Tighten screws (C) and (D).
9. Adjust router bit for desired depth of cut.
Making the Cut: Move router from left to right, guiding it with the Edge
Guide as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 4 shows how the two flat surfaces of the
Edge Guide move along on the edge of the work.
Limits: Using the Magic Guide as an Edge Guide, a cut can be made as
far as about seven inches in from the edge.

APPLICATION: EDGE PLANE
The Magic Guide can be used as an Edge Plane to plane the edge of the
work to a smooth finish (see left side of Fig. 6). Plane the rough and
chipped finish of plywood and laminated plastic stock (see right side of
Fig. 6) to form a straight edge before jointing or edge finishing.
Make sure router is disconnected from power
supply while making adjustments and installing or removing bits
and cutters.
Adjustments:
1. Set leading or right (adjustable shoe plate) edge back from the trailing
(left) edge a distance equal to the amount of stock you wish to
remove. (See Fig. 7). It is recommended that when considerable
stock is to be removed that several cuts be made instead of one.
2. Install bit in router and adjust for correct depth (thickness of work).
3. Loosen knurled screws (A,B and C) Fig. 8 and roughly adjust the
guide so cutting edge of bit is in line with trailing edge of guide.
4. Tighten knurled screw (C). While holding a straight edge against the
wall of the trailing edge, adjust position of guide, by turning micro-
screw (D), until cutting edge of bit just touches straight edge. NOTE:
Turning router and guide assembly upside down might make
step 4 easier.
5. Tighten both screws (A and B). The relative position of bit to guide will
then be similar to that shown in Fig. 7.
Making the Cut: Start the cut at the left end of the work with only the
leading edge of the guide flat against the edge of the work. Move router
from left to right. As the cut progresses, the trailing edge will also contact
and ride along on the edge of the work (see Figs. 7 and 8).
Limits: The length of the cutting edge of the bit limits the thickness of
stock to be planed.
Recommendations: We recommend carbide or carbide-tipped bits for
cutting plywood and/or plastics because the resins used in their
fabrication cause burn spots on regular high speed steel bits

APPLICATION: RADIUS GUIDE
The Magic Guide, used as a Radius Guide, can guide the router along an
arc or curved edge like a round table top. In the case shown in Fig. 9, the
routed groove was filled with colored wood putty and then sanded to
present a handsome appearance to the finished table top.
Make sure router is disconnected from power
supply while making adjustments and installing or removing bits
and cutters.
Adjustments:
1. Assuming that you have just used your Magic Guide as an Edge
Guide or Plane, loosen the wing nut on the bottom and rotate the
base plate one-half turn (180°). Locating bosses on this plate will
drop into positioning holes in the top plate when properly located
(see Fig. 10). Tighten wing nut firmly.
2. Select and install bit or cutter in router.
3. Adjustments for distance from edge of work and depth of cut are
made the same as outlined in steps 6 through 9 under
ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE EDGE GUIDE (see page 4).
Making the Cut: Move the router from left to right, guiding it with the
Radius Guide (see Fig. 11). Fig. 10 shows how the two surfaces of the
Radius Guide ride along and on the curved work edge.

APPLICATION: GROOVE GUIDE
The Magic Guide can be used as a Groove Guide to make grooves, slots,
dadoes, ploughs, gains, etc. Grooves are evenly spaced (see Fig. 12).
Practical applications might include grooves for shelving, slots for
records, sliding doors, mirrors or windows.
Make sure router is disconnected from power
supply while making adjustments and installing or removing bits
and cutters.
Adjustments:
1. If you have been using the Magic Guide as an Edge Guide, Edge
Plane or Radius Guide, remove the base plate (see plate at right of
Fig. 1) by removing the wing nut, flat washer and screw that attach it
to the top plate.
2. Attach groove guide bar (see bar at right of Fig. 1) to bottom front of
top plate with small flat head screw. When the bar is properly
positioned bosses on it will drop into locating holes in the plate (see
Figs. 13 and 14). For wider spaced grooves, the bar may be attached
to the other end of the plate (in last hole): in this position the locating
bosses will rest against the angled rear edges of the base plate.
3. Select and install the bit or cutter in your router.
4. Adjustments for distance between grooves are made the same as
outlined in steps 6 through 9 under ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE
EDGE GUIDE (see page 4).
Making the Cut: The first groove is made with the Edge Guide or the
Groove Bar used to locate the groove the desired distance from the edge
of the work. If the first groove is too far from the edge to use either of the
above, securely clamp a straight edge to the work and guide the router
base along it.
1
Limits: Grooves /2" and wider can be made. Also, grooves a fraction of
an inch apart and up to over 11 inches apart can be made absolutely
parallel with ease.

APPLICATION: CIRCLE GUIDE
The most intricate of circular-shaped (see Fig. 15) cuts can be made with
the Magic Guide. Perhaps you have seen cuts like these on modern
garage door panels or on inlaid coffee or card tables. You, too, can be an
expert when you use the Magic Guide as a Circle Guide.
Make sure router is disconnected from power
supply while making adjustments and installing or removing bits
and cutters.
Adjustments:
1. If you have been using your Magic Guide as an Edge Guide, Edge
Plane, or Radius Guide, remove the base plate (see plate at right of
Fig. 1) by removing the wing nut, flat washer and screw that attach it
to the top plate.
2. If you have been using your Magic Guide as a Groove Guide,
remove the groove guide bar.
3. Attach the fulcrum pin (see extreme right of Fig. 1) to the bottom of
the top plate with the small flat head screw – the same screw used to
attach the groove guide bar. It may be attached at any one of the
three holes that are countersunk to receive the small screw.
4. Select the bit or cutter to give the desired contour of cut and install it
in your router. Adjust for depth of cut.
5. Adjustments for distance of cutter or bit from fulcrum pin are made
the same as outlined in steps 6 through 9 under ADJUSTMENTS
FOR THE EDGE GUIDE (see page 4).
Making the Cut: First select the location of the center of the circle. Then
drill a ¼" hole at this point to receive the fulcrum pin. The hole should be
17
deep enough (approx. /32") so the Top Plate will rest flat on the work.
Insert the fulcrum pin in the hole and rout the circle in a clockwise
direction (see Fig. 16). In the segmented design, you’ll notice tiny nail
holes just outside the large rim (see Fig. 17). These were located 90°
apart and nails used in place of the fulcrum pin to pivot the router for the
four arcs within the large circle.
