Precision Insert Plate Installation
6.
4.
Place the insert plate with the router attached in the table-top
opening, resting it on the eight set screws. Using the hex wrench,
adjust the set screws from under the table to align the surfaces of
the plate and the table. Check the alignment with a straight edge.
Make sure all eight set screws are in equal contact with the insert
plate.
5.
Thread the four ¼-20 x 1¾" machine screws (lock-down screws)
through the countersunk holes in the insert plate and into the
center hole on each leveler and snug them down
[Drawing K]
.
Some adjustment of the lock-down screws and set screws may be
necessary to
fi
ne-tune the alignment.
1.
Thread the ¼-20 x ¾" set screw into the bottom of the brass
starting pin using a
fl
at-blade screw driver and
⅛
" hex wrench, until
the two are tightly secured together
[Drawing L]
. When ready for
use, thread the starting pin assembly into the threaded hole in the
insert-plate and tighten it.
2.
To install a reducing ring, simply drop it into the insert-plate
opening and turn it by hand until it drops
fl
ush with the plate
surface. Insert the pegs at the ends of the arms of the ring wrench
into the mating holes in the reducing ring and rotate the ring
counterclockwise
[Drawing M]
. Rotation of about
⅜
" is suf
fi
cient
to lock the ring in place. To remove the ring, turn the wrench
clockwise and lift the ring out of the opening.
Note:
The Kreg Precision Insert Plate includes three Level-Lock
reducing rings for
fl
exibility in matching the size of the insert-plate
opening to the diameter of the router bit in use. The ring with the
rabbeted opening accepts standard universal-style guide bushings,
allowing you to use your router table for pattern routing. A set of
four additional reducing rings plus a blank disk for making a zero-
clearance ring is available from your Kreg dealer
(Item #PRS3050).
