TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY OF TABLE

A set of spanners and a screwdriver are required for the initial assembly of the table. Additional screws or nuts/ bolts will be required for mounting the table to a suitable surface.

Spanners 8mm, 10mm and 11mm

Screwdriver with flat head

MOUNTING OF ROUTERS

Most popular makes of router can be mounted to the table, providing the correct model of table is purchased. Additional modification may be required for certain models of router and are described in sections E to G. Additional tools may be required to make these modifications.

Choice of router will depend on shank size of cutters that will be used. Higher powered routers will be required for using larger diameter cutters or for making heavier cuts.

Additional plates can be purchased if more than one type of router is to be mounted to the table.
