wood. Align the pre-punched 3/4" gasket hole and the Raizer access hole
in subbase. Using ink pen, transfer mounting hole locations to the gasket. Using
a utility knife or razor blade, hold the subbase in position while cutting around
inside and outside of the subbase Remove subbase and cut mounting holes.
Using ( fig 6 ) place the gasket between the router base and subbase or insert.
Tip: mounting holes can be cut as square holes. If original subbase is unavailable
the template may be used to cut the gasket.
