Router Table for the Craftsman

router or any webbings in the casting of the router base. A slight turning of the plate may be required to miss such obstructions.

(i)The base of the following routers must be drilled with two 6mm diameter holes:

MOF96(E) Mk1

Black & Decker SR100

AEG OFS450S, OFS50, OFS720, OFSE850 Perles OF808, Stayer PR50

Kango R8550S, Holzher 2335, 2355 Virutex FR77C, 78C

Please see page 33 for plan. Holes B on the plate will be used.

(ii)The base of the following routers must be drilled with two 6mm diameter holes:

Metabo OF1028, OFE1228 Ryobi R500, R502

Holes A1 on the plate will be used.

9.Mark the centre of the holes onto the base.

10.Remove plate and mark the centre of the holes with a centre punch.

11.Drill a hole at these points with a 6mm diameter drill bit.

12.Clean up edges of holes if required.

F.Re-drilling of Insert Plate

1.Remove or photocopy the plan from the appendix of this manual.

2.Invert the router and lay the plan onto the base.

3.Identify the appropriate holes on the plan to fit your model of router.

4.Line up the plan with the holes on the router and check the accuracy of their positions.

5.Draw cross lines on the insert plate with a pencil. These cross lines bi-secting the plate on both sides.

6.Cut around the plan of the router base so that the cross lines drawn on the paper plan are dissected.

7.Line up the lines on the insert plate and the lines on the paper plan, ensuring that the threaded insert hole match. Stick the paper plan onto the insert plate.

8.Using a centre punch, mark centres of holes.

9.Drill the required hole size with a suitable metal drill bit . Best results will be obtained if your power drill is mounted in a drill stand.

10.Countersink the hole with a countersink bit to a depth so the heads of the screws are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created.

Note

If you do not have the necessary equipment to carry out operations 7 and 8, then a local engineering shop will be able to carry them out accurately.

G.Re-drilling both Insert Plate and Router Base

1.Invert the router and lay the insert plate onto the upturned base, ensuring threaded insert hole is in the correct position.

2.Clamp the insert plate and router base together with two cramps.

3 . Ensuring that the drill bit will not foul any webbing or fixtures on the router base, drill with a 6mm diameter drill bit into the insert plate and through the router base two holes approxi- mately 75mm apart.

4.Unclamp the router base and insert plate.

5.Countersink the insert plate holes with a counter- sink bit to a depth so the screw heads are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created on both the insert plate and router base.
