Woodhaven Router Plate and Table User Manual
Router plate instructions, Please read carefully
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Some routers will require cocking one handle in and
partially under the table followed by the other handle, unless the
handles can be removed. ”D” handle or pistol grip routers will
not work on our plate in a table unless the handle is removed.
STORING THE ROUTER - READ ME!!!!!
Our plates are resistant to sagging and flexing during
use. However, long term storage of your router in the
table is not advisable. Prolonged hanging may cause
the plate to sag, proving again that gravity works.
After use, store the router (leave the plate attached) in
an upright position with the plate laying on a flat surface.
147 OR 147AP INSERT PLATE - PATENT #5,699,844
Be sure the O-ring is installed completely in the groove
of the router plate. We install the O-ring at our factory, but
sometimes they partially work their way out during shipping.
Before installing an insert, first determine which side
of the insert is the bottom. The bottom of the insert has a
machined face that is either black or dull yellow. The insert
snaps into the opening in the plate. Install the insert by
placing a bottom edge of the insert, at an angle, down into
the opening and then pressing the opposite edge into place.
Turn the insert 1/4 turn to be sure it is seated
on the O-ring. Test to be sure that it is held in place
and will not fall out. Extra inserts are available.
To remove the insert, reach underneath the plate and press
up, or insert a flat blade screwdriver in the slot in
the insert from above the plate and pry out.
If the insert falls out, lifts out or turns without
resistance, or the insert will not seat properly in the
opening, then replace the O-ring. The O-ring is a wear
item and will need to be replaced periodically. Always
check that the insert fits properly before using the
router. DO NOT use the plate if the insert is loose!
STARTING PIN
The starting pin is used with piloted type bits to aid in
starting the cut in an odd or irregular shaped piece where
it is impossible to use a router fence. It is a safety device
and should be used in lieu of trying to start the cut freehand.
If there is more than one starting pin hole in your router
plate, always use the one to the right of the router bit.
