Install and Level the Combined Plate in the Table

 

If you are mounting a Porter-Cable 890 

series router or if the handles of your router are hitting the 

underside of the table and preventing the Baseplate from 

sitting flat to the table, you will need to add some kind of 

spacer. Your router’s original baseplate works well for 

this purpose, as long as you use the longer screws 

provided (Parts 6-12). You also can add Stainless Steel 

Washers (included with your Convertible Benchtop Router 

Table) between the router’s fixed base and the Router 

Plate (2). To do this, first unscrew the Baseplate (1) from 

the Router Plate (2) and then the Router Plate from the 

router. Place the Washers between the fixed base and the 

Router Plate (2) and reinstall the screws. Then reconnect 

the Baseplate (1) to the Router Plate (2) and fit the 

assembly into opening in the table. Use only the 

baseplate or only the washers as a spacer; 

do not use both together.

1.  Fit the Baseplate assembly and router into the opening in your 

  Convertible Benchtop Router Table so that the Baseplate sits 

  flat to the table. 

Fig. 5.

2.  Use a straightedge or your finger to check whether the plate 

  is flush to the tabletop.

3.  If it is not flush, use the Hex Wrench that came with your 

  Convertible Benchtop Router Table to adjust the Socket-Head 

  Set Screws in the shoulder of the table opening until the 

  Baseplate is flush with the tabletop. 

Fig. 6.

4.  Once the Baseplate is flush with the tabletop, secure the 

  Baseplate with the two 5/16"-18 x 1" Flat-Head Screws 

  included with your table. Fully tighten the screws using 

  a screwdriver or a drill at a low speed. Be careful not to 

  strip the screws.
