Original Subbase and Router Table Insert: Mounting Instructions
Individual templates are provided for locating router base, bolt patterns and the Router Raizer access hole. The templates
locate holes on both the original subbase, and router table insert plates. Caution: Photocopying templates may result in reference
marks not reproducing accurately. Place photocopy on original and hold up to window to view accuracy of registration.
Templates
Duplicating Templates
Duplicating the template allows original to be used multiple times. Place original template on a blank sheet of paper. lay both on
a carpet floor. Place one straight pin through center crosslines, use second straight pin to peirce through remaining crosslines.
Remove original and circle pin holes to be used.
Using Template
1. When using either the original or duplicate template, always double check before drilling. If Template is used upside down,
the Router Raizer access hole will be on the wrong side!
2. To avoid placing the Router Raizer access hole under the fence ,all templates have a router table fence reference line. When
aligned to the back edge of the router table insert plate, or fence the router is offset placing the Router Raizer access hole in
front of the fence.
3. To center template on a router table insert plate, align the center cross lines on the template to the center hole in the insert plate.
Measure the center hole in the router table top or insert plate. Center an inexpensive compass on the center crosshairs and transfer
the circle to both sides of the template. Tape the template to the insert. Make sure template is on correctly ( see step above ) drill holes.

1. Drilling Original Subbase. Using ( fig 2 ) align template mounting holes with the
subbase holes. Mark the Router Raizer access point onto the subbase. Before
drilling, place subbase on router base , check the Raizer access point is over the
mainshaft head. When marked properly drill a 3/4" access hole through the
subbase and install onto router.
Caution: The 3/4" Hole is Through the Original Subbase Only.
Never Drill a 3/4" Hole in Any Router Table Insert Plate or Router Table Top.

2. Drilling Top of Router Table Insert Plate. Using ( fig 3 ) Align template fence reference line with back edge of insert plate or fence.
Place the template lettering up onto the insert or table top. Make sure router handles and controls are accessible and clear any obstacles.
The template may be rotated to any position required, we recommend placing the Router Raizer access hole in front of the fence. When the
template is positioned properly, center it to the insert hole by placing a compass on the template center cross lines. Rotate and size the
compass until centered in insert hole. Center punch holes onto insert plate. recheck hole locations before drilling. Drill Router Raizer access
hole .500" through insert. Drill mounting holes same as original subbase.
See back of page for installing #30 dust cover insert and #31 dust cover into .500" Router Raizer access hole.
Mounting original Subbase or Router Table Insert Plate
On some routers the #1 mainshaft head may not be flush with the bottom of the
router base. Shown fig 1.
To determine if mainshaft head is flush. sight, or lay a straight edge over the #1 main-
shaft head. Shown fig 1. If head is below flush or flush with the base, proceed to step
two below. If head is above the base proceed to back of page.
Top of Insert Plate
Due to variations in mounting subbase or table insert plate, please read instructions
