Preparing and Drilling Router Table Top Method #2 (A ) and ( B )

 

NOTE: All installations require a 1/2" diameter hole drilled through the top of your router table top or insert plate to accept the #30 dust cover insert shown bottom of page.

If metod #1 drilling pocket is not possible, a spacer must be placed between the router and table top providing space for #1 mainshaft rotation.

METHOD #2 ( A ) Black Rubber spacer

Some table tops and steel insert plates do not allow cutting the pocket from the back side. An 8" X 8" black rubber spacer is provided to cut out and place between the router and the table top or insert plate.

1. Place the rubber spacer onto base of your router with the pre-punched 3/4" hole centered on the #1 mainshaft head.

2.Use a utility knife or raiser blade to cut out the center hole and router mounting holes. Note: Mounting holes can be cut square and rounding outside of spacer is optional. This method may require slightly longer mounting screws.

METHOD #2 ( B ) Routers Original Sub Base

Preferred method for steel insert plates or installations where the router is secured to the plate using a pre designed clamping system. This method may also be used in place of method #2 ( A )

1.Use #46 locating pin, then drill 3/4" hole through original sub base and secure subbase to router with original screws.
