Hole Pattern Chart on page 15 to determine the correct
hole pattern for your router.

See Figure 17

Refer to Hole Pattern Chart on page 15 to deter-

mine the correct hole pattern for your router.

See Figure 16

1. Remove router base plate from router by removing

screws.

2. Loosen knobs and slide fence so that it clears mounting

holes

3. While holding router upside down, position it under-

neath the table so that the center of the router is within
the center ring of the tabletop.

4. Rotate router until mounting holes in router base line up

with the holes in the tabletop.

5. Insert three machine screws from router base plate

through holes in tabletop and into router mounting
holes. Tighten securely.

6.

Routers with A and AB hole pattern

use the three

countersink screws 

(AS)

, to attach the router to the

table top. For Ryobi routers RE600 and RE601 use
three countersink screws 

(AT)

.

7. To mount Craftsman routers that use the 

E-hole

pattern

to the table top, use three 10 - 32 x 1/2" coun-

tersink screws (not provided).

NOTE:

For ease of use, position the router so the 

ON-OFF switch is accessible from the front of the table.

WARNING:

Make sure the screws from router base plate match
the countersinks in the table and are long enough to
mount the router securely. Replace if necessary.
