Mounting to Bench Handle Assembly

Mounting to Bench		Handle Assembly

The planer can be directly mounted to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox® Deluxe Tool Table for increased stability during planing.

To mount the planer:

1.Determine the correct length of hex bolts needed to mount the planer to your work- bench. This will be the height of the planer mounting holes, plus the thickness of your workbench, plus an extra 1⁄2" for washers and the hex nut.

2.From the hardware store, get (4) 1⁄8" hex bolts that meet the length requirements for your setup. Also get (8) 1⁄2" flat washers, (4) 1⁄2" lock washers, and (4) 1⁄2" hex nuts.

3.Mount the planer to your workbench with your hardware in the order shown in Figure 3.
