TOOLS REQUIRED

• 1/8

″ Allen wrench (32) (included)

• Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• Straight edge (not included)
• Small-sized adjustable wrench (not included)

NOTE: The fences must NOT be installed on the router
table for the following procedures.

PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION OF THE
ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE
(Figs. 7A –7C)

1. Completely thread a #10-32 ESNA stop nut (25)

onto each of the eight #10-32 x 3/4

″ countersunk

socket-head screws (29) as shown in Fig. 7A. The
orientation of the stop nut on the screw must be as
shown in Fig. 7A.
NOTE: It will be helpful to use the included Allen
wrench and an adjustable wrench because the nut
has tight-fitting threads.

2. Place the eight assembled screws and nuts into

the eight hex-shaped pockets in the recess on the
tabletop as shown in Fig. 7B.
The screw threads are to be inserted into the
holes at the bottom of the pockets.

3. Place the router mounting plate into the opening in

the tabletop so that it rests on the heads of the
screws as shown in Fig. 7B.

4. Position a straight edge or level across the mounting

plate as shown in Fig. 7C. The straight edge must be
long enough to extend completely over the opening
in the router tabletop.

5. Insert the Allen wrench (32) through the eight

round holes in the mounting plate, engaging the
hex socket in the screw heads (Fig. 7C).

6. Raise and lower the mounting plate by turning the

screws until the mounting plate is level and flush with
the top of the router table.

7. Remove the mounting plate from the tabletop.

NOTE: It may be necessary to make slight
adjustments after final installation of the router
adapter plate.
