Fitting the Router and the Cutters

IN ORDER TO FIT SOME OF THE ROUTERS TO THE ELEVATOR AND ACHIEVE

UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE

HANDLES; PLUNGE THE ROUTER BODY TO DEPTH, ETC., ETC.

Lower the table to almost its fullest extent. Using the

Allen key provided loosen the bolts and therefore the

lugs holding the universal mounting plate (UMP) in

position and remove. (See Figs 1 and 2). Remove the

sole plate from your router, see illustrations 1 to 2 and

secure your router to the UMP via the appropriate

holes, see pages 8-9. Insert the requisite tool into the

router and tighten securely.

Adjust the ‘depth’ of the router to give the slightly

more than the required exposure of the tool (to allow

for adjustment) and lock the body. Remember that

you will loose 14.5mm of the set ‘height’ of the cutter

between the lower face of the universal mounting

plate and the upper surface of the machine table.

Alternatively, current practise would indicate that the

router is plunged to maximum depth and all height

adjustment is done using the elevator. Reﬁt the

mounting plate to the rise and fall platform. (See Fig 3)

Re-fasten the holding lugs. If the router tool diameter

is greater than 75mm, the router/mounting plate

combination must be reﬁtted to the rise and fall

platform ﬁrst, and then the tooling mounted into the

router. (Hint. You will ﬁnd this easier with the rise and

fall platform at its highest position and the table insert

removed).

Please note: Removing the router handles will

prevent them from interfering with the chain.
