Mounting the router
Fig.14 - 16
Attach the router to the router table by doing the
following:
•
Loosen the fence securing knobs and slide
fence forwards as far as possible, this
prevents the router coach bolts (M5X50) from
falling through the table when it is turned over.
•
Carefully turn the table over and support by it
laying it onto suitable sized blocks of wood or
similar supportable items. (Fig. 14)
•
Place the router in position on the underside
of the table as central as possible. Insert two
coach bolts into holes marked "C" (Fig. 4)
from the table top, now underneath (Fig. 15).
•
Loosely secure router in position with the
4 bolts (Fig. 16). It may be necessary to
rotate the router in order to locate all 4 bolts
correctly. If router is fitted with a speed
control, try if possible to position the speed
control where it can easily be accessed
from the front of the table. Once the router
is in the desired position, tighten the 4 bolts
sufficiently to prevent the router moving whilst
in operation.
•
Plug the router plug into the receptacle of the
switch box.
This router table only can fit routers with
up to 162mm diameter base plate.
•
Your router table is now fully assembled and
ready for use.
4. OPERATION
When making adjustments etc, always
ensure the router is isolated from the
main electrical supply by switching off
and removing the plug from the socket.
Note: Always refer to the specific router
operating instruction manual when making height
and speed adjustments etc.
Installing bits
To install bits whilst the router is situated in the
table will require the router to be lowered fully.
Select desired bit and install. Fit the table insert
closest to the size of the bit, ensure the bit does
not touch the insert.

Height adjustment
Raise the router until the bit protrudes through
the table the required amount. Make test cuts on
scrap pieces of wood to set accurately.
Fence adjustment
Loosen the two fence clamping knobs and
position the fence as desired, use the graduation
marks to set the fence parallel. Make test cuts on
scrap pieces of wood to set accurately.
Pressure pad
Set the fence pressure pad to hold the piece
of wood flat on the table and against the fence
whilst machining. To do this, place the piece of
wood against the fence and bellow the relevant
pad to be adjusted, loose the two locking knobs
and lower the pad until it rests on the wood, push
the pad down a little further to apply sufficient
pressure to hold the wood flat on the table. Adjust
the table feather board in the same manner to
hold the wood firmly against the fence.
Jointing fence
Set the jointing fence to support the wood when
cutting the full thickness. Adjust the cutting depth
etc as previously described, proceed to machine
the piece of wood until the lead edge passed over
the jointing fence by approx 25mm. Switch off and
isolate from the main electrical supply. Hold the
wood firmly against the Fence, loosen the jointing
fence clamping knob, slide the jointing fence out
towards the wood until it touches, tighten the
clamping knob. Back the workpiece away from the
cutter before switching on again and continuing
machining.
As with all power tools, especially those
with cutters/blades, keep hands and
fingers safety away from blades by
using push sticks etc when working on
small workpieces.
Dust extraction
Fig. 17
The router table is provided with a dust extraction
facility, where a vacuum extractor may be
connected to the outlet at the rear of the table,
using the adapter supplied. The connection hose
requires an inside diameter of 34 mm to fit the
adapter supplied, the hose, ideally should be a
reasonably tight fit on the adapter, which is then
just pushed into the hole in the back of the table.
Note however, that this does not preclude the
