Hi Ron

If you do a google (Rockwell 521) you will find a good PDF file on it..

Thanks bobj3, i allready did my research but y came up dry, i did found something about rockwell from jlc magazine an article but did not say much, in how to set it up. he talks about what he does etc, but not much explaining how to set it up, Thanks any why, a lynk will be great:dance3:

 

I have the manual you need but I need your Mailing address because I don't have a scanner and I will send a copy to you.

 

hi Danie1:

Here's a tip for the future: take a picture of each page with your camera on its highest resolution setting. Put those pictures in your word processor and convert to a *.PDF file. It works with coloured pictures so it should work with black and white ones.

 

Hello Danie1. Welcome to the RouterForums. Hope you become an active member of this great forum.

 

Go to Book finder.com and find the book "Stair layout" by Stanley Badzinski Jr, the 1971 printing. Look on pages 52-56 and this tells everything and with pictures about set up and use of the template.

 

hi daniel

Have a rockwell stair templet 521

 

R-521



Hi Ron the R-521 is quite easy to use, but I admit at frist they seem abit scary, the one jig will lay out both stair stringers once you set one side and router it out you just flip it over and do the other side. The side of the jig that you use to set your angle of your stair is on your left when working from left to right and on your right when working from right to left, you use your square to set your first rise&run (left or right end of your material) then lay your jig with the tread side (that is the side with round noseing incerts faceing away from you, it would face the top of your stringer) line the top of the jig up with the pencel line you made with your square of the tread angle, keeping the round incert a inch. or so back from the top the stringer then slide the setting blocks down to the top of the stringer careful not to move the jig tighen them in place,then tighen the centre set screw to the back of the stringer now your set to router the tread and riser. To move to the next one you need mark your advance mark, ( at the very top of your jig you will see a small mark indicator, use it to lineup yout advance marks) the advance marks are layed out on the top of the stringer , say your tread is 10" & the rise is 7" the advance would be approxemitly 12"3/8th. of a inch. you would lay that advance figure along the top of the stringer for the number treads you need plus one extra,to match the rise at the top of your stairs. rember left to right for one stringer and right to left for the other stringer, so when you lay them out across from each other they match. I hope I have helped some, let me know how you make out useing the jig. I see in the picture that you have two r-521 I would like to buy one, I have always been interested in stair construction.

This is an older thread, it lists a book called, "Stair Layout" by author Stanley Badzinski Jr, the 1971 printing. The ISBN 9780826907004 is what you're looking for, if you're looking for the same book as me.

I just purchased the book online, and I'll post a quick review of the contents I'M looking for, the instructions for the 521 jig. If it has the info, I'll also comment on MY current post looking for instructions...
