With a test pin that fits well, we can go ahead and
cut the pins in the drawer front and back pieces. Clamp Index mark
the front piece in the machine, making sure the caret pointing out
marks on the edge are against the fence and pointing
outward (opposite of the way the socket boards were
mounted).

Fence

Turn the crank handle so the cursor (or digital
readout) is at the first cursor or DRO — 6/32”. Because
this is a half pin, we’ll only make the RIGHT side cut.
Position the router (as shown at right) with the bit be-
hind the stock, then pull the bit through.

Pull router towards you

Now turn the crank handle to the second setting
(1”), twist the router to the opposite side, and push the
router back through the stock. Without changing the
setting, twist the router back to the other side and pull
it back through. You’ll basically do a crisscross pattern

Push router away from you like that shown below, making left and right cuts then
moving to the next center reading. On the final half-pin,
make only the LEFT side cut (Cut 8). (Depending on
the spacing, you may end up with waste stock between
pins -- carefully trim this away before moving to the
next setting.)
