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.

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.

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.
