Make sure edges of CAUTION template align with edges

of square adaptor base plate, and inner circle accurately lines up with hole in plate. Routing accuracy will suffer if alignments are not true.

4.Use tape to attach template to the square adaptor base plate (Z).

5.Lay the square adaptor base plate on a flat surface with template and weldnuts facing up.

6.Unscrew the fasteners that hold the router base plate to the router and set them aside.

7.Turn the router base plate over and position it face down on the template, which is still taped to the square adaptor base plate. The position of the base plate must line up with one of the circles on the template. See Figure 21.

8.Using a pen or pencil, mark the positions of the mounting holes in the base plate on the paper template.

9.Take the base plate off the square adaptor base plate and put it aside.

10.Using a drill bit that matches the diameter of the holes in the router base plate, bore into the square adaptor base plate in the locations previously marked. (To reduce drill breakout, use a back-up board.)

11.Remove the paper template from the square adaptor base plate.

12.Flip the square adaptor base plate over. With the welded nuts now facing downward, position the adaptor plate on the router. (The welded nuts and the router must be on the same side of the adapter plate.) See Figure 22.

13.With the square adaptor base plate holes and router holes aligned, insert appropriate screws and tighten.

Make sure the screws WARNING from your router base plate

are long enough to mount the square adaptor base plate securely. If necessary, replace with screws that are 1/8" to 1/4" longer.
