Router Table for the Craftsman

D.Identification of Mounting Holes and Screws

See previous page to:

1.Identify which Insert Plate has been supplied with your Router Table.

2.Identify the mounting holes and fixing screws (including washers & nuts if applicable) which will be required to suit your router.

3.Identify whether your router or the Insert Plate requires re-drilling.

If at this point, you realise you have ordered the incorrect model of Router Table for your router, an exchange of the Insert Plate can be made direct with Trend, see address on front cover. Ensure that the fixing pack, insert rings and insert plate are returned. Please quote part number of plate required in the exchange.

Additional Insert Plates can be purchased through your nearest Trend stockist if you wish to fit other models of router to your router table. See prevoius page for selection, and spare parts diagram for price details.

base. The fixing screws can then be used to secure. The use of a gasket serves two purposes, firstly it allows for secure fixing of the router, and secondly, due to the small aperture in the router it allows the tabs of the insert rings to fit tightly to the plate. Enlarging the aperture in the base of the router is also advised if large diameter tooling is to be used.

(iii)For Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE, three 3/4"x1/4" packing washers are used on each screw to pack out the base of the router from the underside of the insert plate. These packing washers allow the tabs of the inset rings to fit tightly in the plate.

Your Router should fall into one of the following catagories:

(i)No adjustment necessary - Proceed to section H. Please note for Elu OF97(E) see section (i) below. For Bosch POF 52, 400A, 500A and 600ACE see section D4 (ii) and for Bosch GOF900A and 1300ACE see section D4 (iii).

(ii)Router base requires re-drilling - Proceed to section E

(iii)Insert Plate requires re-drilling - Proceed to section F

4.(i) For the Elu OF97(E) a 6.35mm (1/4") thick MDF or plywood gasket is required. The central hole should

be drilled out to 60mm in diameter and with two Bosch further holes of 8mm diameter and at 115mm centres.

Please see page 34 for plan.

(ii)For the Bosch POF DIY range of DIY routers a special gasket must be made in 3mm to 6mm thick plywood or MDF made. Please see page 35 for plan. This gasket is then placed between the underside of the plate in the table and the underside of the router

E.Re-drilling of Router Base

1.Invert your router onto a suitable surface.

2.Place the Insert Plate facing upwards onto the base of your router.

3.Identify holes A1 and A2, or holes B on the Insert Plate.

4.Fit a large diameter cutter (max. 53mm diam.) into your router and tighten collet.

5.Retract plunge mechanism and lock off allowing cutter to protrude through the base.

6.Adjust position of the Insert Plate to centralise the cutter within the centre hole of the Insert Plate.

7.Ensure that the threaded hole in the Insert Plate faces the same side as on/off switch and fine height adjuster (if fitted) so as these are easily accessible when the router is fitted to the table.

8.Ensure that the holes you are about to drill in the base do not interfere with any of the features on the
