PR005 TILT BASE
(Included with PR20EVSNK. Also available
as optional accessory)
The PR005 Tilt Base (Fig. 29) is used for the
following purposes:
• Trimming laminated edges at the point that
they reach adjacent vertical surface, such
as a kitchen counter's backsplash (Fig. 31).
• Trimming special angles (Fig. 30)
• Making bevel cuts. One method of
obtaining a straight cut is to securely
clamp a board or other straightedge to the
work surface, and guide the edge of the
router sub-base along this path (Fig. 14).
Motor Installation
The motor is installed according to the
instructions on page 9.
Angle Adjustment
The total tilt range is 75º, from 45º forward to
30º backward.
To adjust the angle (Fig. 31):
1. Loosen the two wing screws.
2. Adjust the angle as desired using the scale
on the left side of the base. Note that there
are detents at every 7.5º. Whenever
possible, the base should be positioned
with the motor tilted toward the closed end
of the base.
3. Tighten the wing screws. Be careful not to
over-tighten, or the base may be
damaged.
Depth Adjustment
The depth is adjusted according to the
instructions on page 10.
Using the Tilt Router
The principles of using the tilt router are
basically the same as for the regular router
set-up (motor in fixed-base assembly), with
the following difference.
1. The PR005 should always be used with a
self-piloted or bearing bit.
2. The proper grip position depends on the
angle of the cut and the tool. The router
should be gripped with one hand gripping
the motor and the other gripping the
elsewhere on the back of the tool.
To reduce the risk of

injury, never grip the base
directly above or next to the exposed bit.
3. When trimming edges while the bit is tilted
toward the direction of feed, it is extremely

important to keep the base square with the
surface to be routed. If the tilt router is
shifted in the direction of the surface it is
riding on, the upper part of the cutter can
dig far into the workpiece.
