Router Table Assembly

ATTACH THE ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE (Fig. 13)

1.If the fence is already installed on the table, remove it before proceeding.

2.Place the router mounting plate (3) in the opening so the numbers on the scales are right side up, as seen from the front of the table. Using a straight edge, check to be certain that the surface of the router mounting plate is flush with the tabletop surface. NOTE: Failure to make sure the router mounting plate is flush with the tabletop surface can result in poor routing performance. Slide a square cut board from right to left across the router mounting plate to be sure that it moves smoothly.

3.To adjust the plate, insert the 6mm hex key through the outermost corner holes in the mounting plate and turn the leveling inserts clockwise to lower the mounting plate or counterclockwise to raise the mounting plate.

4.Secure the router mounting plate (3) to the table with four #10-32 x 1/2″ pan-head machine screws

(33)(Fig. 13) through the outermost corner holes in the plate. Tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten.

TO REMOVE THE ROUTER AND/OR ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE

To remove the router from the mounting plate, you must first remove the router mounting plate from the router table.

THE FENCE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE ROUTER TABLE WHEN REMOVING OR REINSTALLING THE ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE.

Make sure that the router is NOT plugged into a power outlet when installing into the table, removing from table, making adjustments or changing accessories. Router could accidentally start.

OVER-TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The router adapter plate features an access hole to allow use with the over-table height adjustment feature on the Bosch 1617 series routers. Refer to your router manual for additional information on using this feature.

For the Porter Cable 892 and 895 and the Milwaukee 5615 and 5616 model routers, it is necessary to drill an access hole to accommodate the over-table height adjustment:

1.Remove the subbase from the router and align the mounting holes in the subbase with the corresponding mounting holes in the adapter plate. Be sure to orient the subbase so that the router switch will be toward the front of the table.

1.Loosen the four #10-32 x 1/2″ pan-head Phillips machine screws (33) holding the router mounting plate to the tabletop.

2.Lift the router mounting plate and router upwards from the tabletop.

3.Remove the countersunk machine screws securing the router to the mounting plate.

4.When reinstalling the router mounting plate, be sure that the plate is level with the tabletop. If needed, readjust as described above.

2.Using a pencil or centerpunch, mark the location of the over-table height adjustment hole on the router adapter plate.

3.Remove the subbase from the adapter plate and carefully drill the over-table height adjustment hole.

4.Make sure that the hole will accommodate the height adjustment tool for your router. Remove any burrs or rough edges with sandpaper.
