Router Table Assembly
ATTACH THE ROUTER MOUNTING PLATE
(Fig. 13)
1. If the fence is already installed on the table, remove it
before proceeding.
2. Place the router mounting plate (3) in the opening so
the numbers on the scales are right side up, as seen
from the front of the table. Using a straight edge,
check to be certain that the surface of the router
mounting plate is flush with the tabletop surface.
NOTE: Failure to make sure the router mounting
plate is flush with the tabletop surface can result in
poor routing performance. Slide a square cut board
from right to left across the router mounting plate to
be sure that it moves smoothly.
3. To adjust the plate, insert the 6mm hex key through
the outermost corner holes in the mounting plate
and turn the leveling inserts clockwise to lower the
mounting plate or counterclockwise to raise the
mounting plate.

OVER-TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The router adapter plate features an access hole to
allow use with the over-table height adjustment feature
on the Bosch 1617 series routers. Refer to your router
manual for additional information on using this feature.
For the Porter Cable 892 and 895 and the Milwaukee
5615 and 5616 model routers, it is necessary to drill
an access hole to accommodate the over-table height
adjustment:
1. Remove the subbase from the router and align
the mounting holes in the subbase with the
corresponding mounting holes in the adapter plate.
Be sure to orient the subbase so that the router
switch will be toward the front of the table.
4. Secure the router mounting plate (3) to the table
with four #10-32 x 1/2
″
pan-head machine screws
(33) (Fig. 13) through the outermost corner holes in
the plate. Tighten the screws snugly, but do not
overtighten.
2. Using a pencil or centerpunch, mark the location of
the over-table height adjustment hole on the router
adapter plate.
3. Remove the subbase from the adapter plate and
carefully drill the over-table height adjustment hole.
4. Make sure that the hole will accommodate the height
adjustment tool for your router. Remove any burrs or
rough edges with sandpaper.
