The router has a guide pin directly under the cutting bit. You make a pattern with a groove in it....place the pin in the groove....put the wood you want cut on the pattern....and as you move the pattern (pin following groove) you cut out a repeatable pattern in your wood. Kind of like a manual CNC machine. Now there is a paradoxical oxymoron for you. :) Jim
