Assembly
Mount your router to the insert plate
1
Place the insert plate (11) on your workbench with the front edge
facing you and the target pattern facing up. Center your router base
on the insert-plate target pattern. Adjust the router orientation to provide
easy access to the controls when the router and plate are installed in
your router table. Make an index mark on the router sub-base and the
insert plate.
ATTENTION
To view a free video that shows you how to drill your
insert plate, go to www.kregtool.com. You also can have Kreg do the drilling
for a fee. For complete information, go to www.kregtool.com/plateprogram.
ATTENTION
The included insert plate has center points molded into the bottom
face for drilling mounting holes for the following routers: Pattern 1 (three holes):
Bosch 1617 and 1618; DeWalt 616 and 618; Hitachi M12VC; Makita 1100; Milwaukee
5616 and 5624; Porter-Cable 690, 890, 7529, 97529, and 8529; and Ridgid 2930
Combo Kit. Pattern 2 (four holes): Milwaukee 5625-20; Porter-Cable 7518, 7519,
7538, and 7539; and Triton TRA001 and MOF001. Drill holes and counterbores
or countersinks to accommodate the mounting screws supplied with the router.
For routers equipped with a built-in lift system, use the router sub-base as a
guide for the location and size of the access hole and as a drilling guide.
For routers not covered by Pattern 1 or Pattern 2 follow the instructions below.
2
Remove the sub-base from your router and select a drill bit that fits
the mounting holes. For routers equipped with a built-in lift system,
also select a bit that fits the lift-access hole. Apply several small pieces of
double-faced tape to the insert plate. Center the sub-base on the plate,
using the target pattern as a guide and aligning the index marks. Make
sure that none of the sub-base holes interfere with the threaded hole for
the start pin. Press the sub-base firmly onto the insert plate.
3
Using the holes in the sub-base as guides, drill the holes in
the insert plate. For best results, use a drill press. Remove the
sub-base from the insert plate. Flip the plate over and countersink
the mounting holes.
4
Attach the router base to the insert plate, using the screws that
were used to attach the sub-base to the router base. Make certain
that the screws are long enough to fully thread into the router base.
Depending on the thickness of your router sub-base and the type of
screw head, it may be necessary to purchase different screws. For
fixed-base routers, install the motor unit in the router base.
