Identifying Front of Tramming Plate
The tramming plate which mounts to the front of the
Z-Plus is a feature that makes it easier to adjust left/right
tilt of the router. Tramming the machine before each new
project provides you with the most accurate cuts and
highest quality finish.
Of the four (4) mounting holes that fix the tramming plate
to the Z-Plus (see
Figure 3-9
) one is 0.75mm smaller than
the other three. The smallest hole is a fixed point around
which the plate can be adjusted by +/- 0.375mm left or
right. This allows you to get the tramming plate and the
router mount perfectly parallel with the X-Axis.
Before attaching the tramming plate to the router mount and Z-Plus, it must be properly oriented with the smallest
hole (fixed point) in the top-left corner. This is the FRONT of the tramming plate.
1.
Position the tramming plate with the short legs extending up in a “U” shape.
2.
Carefully inspect the top two holes shown in
Figure 3-10
.
3.
Determine which of the holes is smaller and position the tramming plate with this hole at TOP-LEFT. This is the
FRONT of the plate.

PRO TIP:
An easy way to spot the smallest hole in the tramming plate is to closely compare the top two
holes, as shown in
Figure
3
-

. Insert two of the tramming screws into the top two holes and look closely at
the difference in space around each screw. The larger hole has space around the screw (right) and the smaller
hole does not (left). Once
you’ve determined the FRONT of the trammi
ng plate, mark it with a piece of
masking tape to ensure correct installation as shown in the figure.
