6. Center router base plate on mounting plate
(see Figure 25), keeping marks made in
Step 4 aligned.
7. Use router base plate as template to align
with pilot holes on bottom-side surface of
mounting plate, as shown in
Figure 25.

8. Use drill press or hand-held drill with guide to
drill holes through mounting plate.
Note: Use drill bit slightly larger in diameter
than fasteners used to secure base plate to
router to ease installation in following steps.

Note: Use center punch to mark any router
base plate mounting holes that do not align
with pilot holes on mounting plate.
4. Set router on mounting plate (see
Figure 23) and align spindle with center of
insert. Use marker to mark center curve of
router base, router base plate, and mounting
plate.
Note: Consider access to router controls
before finalizing router location. It may be
necessary to slightly adjust alignment if holes
in router base plate overlap or are too close
to starter pin holes.
9. Drill countersink holes on top surface of
mounting plate, using drill holes as guides for
countersinks (see
Figure 26 for example).
This allows fasteners to sit slightly below top
surface of mounting plate and reduces risk of
kickback from a workpiece catching on fas-
teners during routing operations.

base plate, and mounting plate with spindle.
