W1736 Overarm Router (Mfg. 8/10+)

For stable and safe operation, the overarm router should

be mounted to a workbench.

If you intend on using the overarm router for portable

applications, mount it to a heavy plywood base (at least

1" thick) that is wide enough to prevent tipping or rock-

ing. Clamp the table to the workbench or stable work sur-

face before operating the router.

The strongest bench mounting option is a "Through Mount"

where holes are drilled all the way through the work-

bench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to

secure the machine to the workbench.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the

machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag

screw.

To mount the overarm router, do these steps:

1. Determine the surface or object to which you will

mount your overarm router, ensure that you have

enough space for the table footprint (

Figure 6), and

obtain the needed hardware for your mounting appli-

cation.

Note: Bolts/screws should be long enough to account

for the thickness of the table and the supporting sur-

face you are mounting it to.

2. Fasten the table of the overarm router to your sup-

porting surface.

3. Check the stability of the mounted overarm router to

make sure it is stable enough to be used safely.
