Assembly and Mounting Router
1.
If the Router Plate (1) is attached to the Jig Base (2), loosen
and remove the eight #10-24 x 7/16" Flathead Screws (3)
holding the two together from under the Jig Base.
Fig. 1.
2.
Remove the baseplate that came with your router. Keep
track of the screws.
3.
Find the hole pattern in the Router Plate (1) that matches the
mounting holes on your router and align your router with the
Plate. Use the appropriate set of included Router Mounting
Screws (14-18) or, if none of those work, the screws you
removed in Step 2 to attach the Router Plate to your router.
Make sure that the screw heads do not sit proud of the
plate surface.
4.
Chuck the desired router bit in the router, following the
procedures outlined in the owner’s manual that came with
your router, and adjust the router so that the bit does not
extend below the Router Plate (1). It is best to choose a bit
whose diameter will allow you to cut the dado width in two
overlapping passes. (For example, if cutting a dado to fit a
shelf made from nominal 3/4" plywood, you would use a
1/2" diameter straight bit.)

To avoid serious injury, adjust the router to
fully retract the bit during jig setup operations. The bit
MUST
not extend below the Router Plate (1) during setup.
The Perfect Fit Dado Jig works only with
1/4"-, 3/8"- and 1/2"-diameter router bits. Do
NOT
use
undersized plywood router bits.
