The FMT Pro must only be
used with a plunge router. Never,

2-2
Mark the appropriate mounting holes on the Sub-Base. Use a

router is not listed here, proceed to 2-3. For the most up-to-
date list of routers, go to www.leighjigs.com.

model, fitting the Sub-Base to your router may take up to an hour

can be removed and reattached in about a minute. Mounting the Sub-Base correctly is critical to the accuracy of
