Precision Router Table Top Assembly
Step 5: Mounting the router to the Insert Plate
PLEASE NOTE:
All routers are different. When aligning the router's base plate to
the bull's-eye template and Insert Plate, take into consideration all of
the controls you will need access to when the router is suspended
below the plate during operation. Plan your installation completely
and adjust the router orientation accordingly. The router handles do
not need to be square with the table or plate for proper operation, so
easy access to the on/off switch and other controls should be your
#1 priority when attaching the router to the Insert Plate.
Begin by locating the 3/8" phenolic Insert Plate (#1) and placing it face
down on your workbench. The Kreg Logo on the Insert Plate should not
be visible. Take the clear Plastic Template and place the edge marked
"FRONT" towards the front edge of the insert plate. Align the template
so that the Start Pin Hole marking and the bull's-eye line up perfectly with
the Insert Plate. Once positioned correctly, securely tape the template into
place using a minimum 1" wide, heavy duty masking tape.
In a later step, you will be duplicating your router's base plate holes into
your Insert Plate so that you can connect your router directly to the Insert
Plate. First, you must determine the correct size of the holes to drill in
your Insert Plate. Remove the base plate from your router and fi nd the bit
that fi ts just inside of the base plate's holes.
Now, center your base plate on the concentric rings of the bull's-eye
template. Keep in mind what position you want the router in when it's
suspended from the table and make certain the base is rotated to refl ect
that position. For instance, it's best to have the lock on the router base,
and the controls on the router motor, toward the front of the table, or as
easily accessible as possible.
Note: If your router is equipped with a built-in lift system, you will need to
drill the appropriate holes through the insert plate at this time to gain access
to the system and make adjustments to the bit depth of your router after
it's been mounted to the insert plate. Once again, use your router base
plate to choose the appropriate size drill bit needed for these holes. VERY
IMPORTANT – When positioning your base plate for drilling, make sure that
none of the holes you are about to drill line up over the pre-drilled Start Pin
Hole in the insert plate.
Once you have the base plate from your router aligned where you want
it on the template, use a minimum 1" wide heavy duty masking tape to
secure your base plate to the bull's-eye template. Tape on at least four
sides of your base plate to ensure a strong and secure hold. The more
sides you tape, the more secure the hold.
Whether you use a drill press or hand drill, we recommend you place a
scrap piece of wood under the insert plate. This will reduce blowouts as
you drill through the insert plate. It's easiest to do this operation on a drill
press so the holes are perfectly square to the insert. If you must drill it by
hand, be careful to keep the holes straight. Before drilling, securely clamp
the insert plate to your bench or drill press to hold it secure and reduce the
chance of the material moving as you drill.
After the holes are drilled, remove the base plate & template. Flip the
insert plate over and use an 82 degree countersink bit to countersink each
hole so the head of the screws sit at fl ush or slightly below the plate's
surface when tightened down. Be very careful not to over drill these holes,
as their depth will directly affect the quality of your routing surface.
