MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER 555970

WARNING

CAUTION

This set-up will make it impossible for you to use your Two-Piece Overarm Router Fence safely.

Position the two T-nuts in the “front” Miter Gauge slot of your MARK V’s Worktable, near the two ends of the slot. Lay the Over- arm Router Table onto the surface of the MARK V Table.

Align the left hole in the left pair of coun- tersunk mounting holes in your Router Table surface over the outside (or left) 1/4" threaded hole in the left T-Nut. Insert a 1/4"-20 flathead machine screw through the countersunk Table hole and thread it into the T-Nut hole. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to run the screw down into the hole but do not tighten it at this time.

Slide the Router Table to the right slightly until the left hole in the right pair of coun- tersunk mounting holes in your Router Table surface align over the outside (or right) 1/4" threaded hole in the right T-Nut. In- sert a 1/4"-20 flathead machine screw through the countersunk Table hole and thread it into the T-Nut hole. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to run the screw down into the hole but do not tighten it at this time.

Loosen MARK V Carriage Lock and raise the Worktable and Carriage assembly up on the way tubes to within 5" to 6" of the Deflector bottom (20). Lock the carriage in place.

Extend the Worktable until the bottoms of the MARK V Table Tubes are flush with the bottom of the carriage, then lock the MARK V table into position.

Never operate the Overarm Router unless the Table Tubes are extending flush with the bottom of the Carriage or beyond. Do- ing so will not provide adequate support for the Table and could result in damage to the machine.

For any operation where the cut profile is such that the Router Bit extends below the top surface of the Worktable, the Table should always be aligned so that its center hole is aligned with the centerpoint of the Router Bit.

CAUTION

Adequate Worktable Support is

critical for the best results.

It is recommended that you always use the Telescoping Legs and Connector Tubes that came with your Model 510 or 520 MARK V to support the outer edge of the Overarm Router Worktable during op- erations.

This is especially true if you’re working with heavier-than-normal workpieces – or if you have the Arm of your Overarm Router extended far forward to provide additional throat capacity.

If you own a Model 505 Anniversary Edition MARK V, you must purchase two Connector Tubes (Part # 514439), two Telescoping Legs (Part # 514529) and two Adjustable Fittings (514620).

If you own a Model 500 MARK V, a single Support Leg (Part # 555627) is available for your machine that attaches around the lip of the front edge of your Worktable.
