ASSEMBLY
Assembling the router plate
See Fig 6
1. Fit the Clamp Bases (13) to the corners of the underside
of the Router Plate (11) with the M6 x 45 Countersunk
Screws (15) and M6 Flange Nuts (16). Do not tighten
yet
2. Fit the sub plate to the router plate using the M6 x 16
Countersunk Screws (18), Plate Spacers (19) and M6
Flange Nuts (32). Tighten firmly
3. Fit the Small Insert Ring (8) into the router plate. It twist
locks into position
4. Sit the router plate into the central cut-out in the table
(clamp bases facing down) with the depressed slot in
the plate on the left (when viewed from the switchbox
end)
5. Slide the clamp bases outward until they locate
against the square tube supports, ensuring there is no
movement in the plate, then tighten firmly in position
6. Screw the Plate Clamp Knobs (14) onto the screws until
they hold the router plate firmly into the table (they cut
their own thread)
In use:
• The clamps have cut-away edges. When all four cut-
aways are facing outward, the plate can be removed;
turn the knobs clockwise about half a turn to tighten it
back down
• Locate the plate upside down in the table to hold it still
while fitting the router
Fitting a Triton router to the sub plate
See Figs 7 & 8
• The Sub Plate (12) has been designed for direct
mounting of Triton Routers
1. Loosen the two mounting knobs on your router until
they are approximately 10mm (
the router
2. Locate the router onto the sub plate with the chuck
plunged through the small insert ring. Align the
mounting knobs with the small round holes
3. Push down on the mounting knobs until the bolt heads
locate into the keyholes and rotate the router anti-
clockwise until the knobs align with the small triangle
holes

Fitting other brands of router to the sub plate
See Fig 9
1. Lock your router at full depth and fit the Router
Alignment Tool (10) into the collet. Place the router onto
the Sub Plate (12) with the alignment tool fitting snugly
through the small insert ring. NOTE: Most large routers
fit best with their handles angled diagonally across the
plate
2. Determine the four most suitable clamp slots –
ensuring you do not obstruct any of the router controls.
If four suitable clamping positions cannot be achieved,
three well spaced clamps are acceptable. Alternatively,
remove the obstruction (eg. turret) from the router, or
attempt to straddle the clamp over it
3. Locate the heads of the M6 x 60 Coach Bolts (17) into
the openings of these slots and loosely assemble the
Clamp Bases (22) onto them using M6 Flange Nuts (32)
4. Slide the clamp bases up against the base of the router
and tighten the flange nuts with a 10mm spanner
5. Fit the Clamp Springs (23), Clamps (21) then Washers
(20) over the bolts and loosely fit the Clamp Knobs (24)
6. Determine which end of the clamps best suits your
router base, then slide them over a free position on the
base
7. Tighten the clamp knobs firmly
• To remove the router: Loosen the clamp knobs and
slide back the clamps to disengage them from the
router base
• Porter Cable Routers: Four holes are provided to suit
direct screw mounting of Porter Cable routers to the
sub plate via their base mounting screws, if preferred
Assembling the sliding table insert
See Fig 10
1. Tighten the Outer Bearings (28) and Hold-down (29)
onto the Sliding Table Insert (25) using the M6 x 20
Screws (31) and M6 Hex Nuts (33)
2. Fit the Inner Bearings (26) to the insert using the M6
x 45 Screws (30) and M6 Flange Nuts (32). Do not
tighten yet
3. Locate the insert into the tracks in the table by hooking
the hold-down under the outer (orange) track first.
The slots on the inner bearings should locate onto the
flange on the aluminium inner track
4. Now firmly tighten the inner bearing screws and check
that the insert slides smoothly
5. If there is any movement between the aluminium inner
track and the inner bearings, loosen the screws, twist
the bearing slightly and re-tighten
