MOUNT THE OVERARM ROUTER TABLE ONTO THE MARK V WORKTABLE

Model 500

Remove the MARK V Table Insert. Use the two buttonhead Allen capscrews with wash- ers to mount the Overarm Router Table to the MARK V Worktable by inserting them through the two elongated mounting holes in the Router Table and threading them di- rectly into the Model 500 MARK V Table In- sert mounting holes (See Fig. 6).

FOR MODEL 500

FOR MODELS 505, 510,520

Figure 6. Use the left hole of each pair

when mounting the Worktable on

Model 505, 510 and 520 MARK V’s for most applications. Use counterbored slots for Model 500.

Models 505, 510, 520

Use the sliding T-nuts and 1/4"-20 flat head machine screws provided. Lay the Router Table right-side-up on a flat surface in front of you with the eight threaded insert holes away from you. You will notice two pairs of countersunk holes in the Table surface, about 7-1/2" in from the “front” edge of the Table (See Fig. 6). These are the holes you will use to mount your Overarm Router’s Table to your Model 505, 510 or 520 MARK V’s Work- table.

For the majority of your conventional and pin routing operations, you will use the two left holes in each pair to mount the Table to the “front” Miter Gauge slot in your MARK V’s Worktable. This approach will provide the maximum workpiece support in “front” of your Router bit and motor . . . and allow you to use your Two-Piece Router Fence (in- cluded).

If you would prefer to have more workpiece support “behind” your Router bit and mo- tor, use the two right holes in each pair to mount the Table to the “back” Miter Gauge slot in your MARK V’s Worktable. When us- ing this approach, the Table must be rotated 180° and installed with the eight threaded Fence inserts toward the “front” of the Table.
