Assembly

STEP 11C
Fit the inner track to the left side of the Compact

(when viewed from the switch-box end) by locating

the brackets over the square tube, as shown in (Fig.

8). Close the jaw of the bracket around the tube

and tighten the clamp knobs until they hold the jaw

firmly closed, front and rear. To remove the track

loosen the clamp knobs half a turn until the flat

faces of the knobs allow the jaws to swing open.

Aligning the Tracks on a Compact Table
STEP 12C
Position the outer track parallel to the inner track

approximately 28" apart. Place the table onto the

tracks with the inner (smaller) bearings on the inner

track. Always fit the table this way. Slide the table to

each end of its travel and adjust the position of the

outer track. The lengthened outer bearings make

this a non-critical adjustment.

STEP 13C
Adjust the height of the outer track until the fence is

level, and parallel to the Compact table.
Check the sliding table throughout its travel for

diagonal rocking on the tracks, and fine tune the

height of the outer track if necessary. Adjust the

height stops on the outer track legs to lock-in the

correct height.
Next it will be necessary to fine-tune the height

of the inner track. Fit the extension table fence to

the sliding table and extend it across the Compact

table. The fence should sit around

⁄

” above the

Compact. Slide the table to the rear of the Compact

and check that it is level throughout the travel

range. If necessary remove the inner track from

the track clamp and insert one or both Shims (31)

between the front and/or rear clamp and track.

Loosely re-fit the bolts and nuts.

STEP 14C
With the sliding table positioned midway along the

Compact, engage the front and rear locking latches

(Fig. 10). Adjust the self-tapping screws on the

inner bearings until the heads enter the rectangular

windows and the table cannot be lifted. (It will be

necessary to unlock the latches and lift the table

clear to make these adjustments).

STEP 15C
The last step is to fine-tune the inner track position

in the horizontal plane, to ensure that the extension

table scales are accurate.
With the extension table fitted and locked, and the

fence removed, insert the Compact rip fence and

set it to 16" using the Compact scale pointers.

Adjust the inner track sideways until both front and

rear scales read exactly 16", (Fig. 11), when sighting

down the face of the Compact rip fence. Tighten the

Nyloc nuts then remove the Compact rip fence.
Your Sliding Extension Table is now fully assembled

and ready for use. Skip to the 'Operating' section.

FITTING TO A ROUTER STAND
STEP 10R
Loosely fit the TCA/RSA Brackets (38), Spacer

Blocks (39) and Shims (31) onto the two inside

brackets on the Inner Track using the M6 x 50

Coach Bolts (32), Washers (13) and Nyloc Nuts

(24), as shown. (Fig. 5). Note the orientation of the

brackets in regard to the long and short overhang of

the inner track.

STEP 11R
Fit the inner track to the left side of the Router

Stand (when viewed from the switch-box end)

by locating the brackets over the square tube,

as shown in (Fig. 9). Close the jaw of the bracket

around the tube and tighten the clamp knobs until

they hold the jaw firmly closed, front and rear. To

remove the track loosen the clamp knobs half a turn

until the flat faces of the knobs allow the jaws to

swing open.

Aligning the Tracks on a Router Stand
STEP 12R
Position the outer track parallel to the inner track

approximately 28" away from it. Place the table

onto the tracks with the Inner Bearings (6) on the

inner track. Always fit the table in this way. Slide the

table to each end of its travel and adjust the position

of the outer-track. The lengthened outer bearings

make this a non-critical adjustment.

STEP 13R
Adjust the height of the outer track until the fence is

level, and parallel to the Router Table.
