Aligning the Pilot Hole with the Pocket

Figure 5b
Often, it is difficult to make the guide bushing concentric with the router bit. For this
reason, your Route-a-Pocket
TM
has been designed with shims on the sides of the drill
guide. These shims can be used to correct for misalignment between the pilot hole and
pocket. Your Route-a-Pocket
TM
was shipped with (1) thin and (1) thick shim on each side
of the drill guide. By moving the shims from one side to the other, the pilot hole can be
shifted relative to the centerline of the pocket. Reposition the shims as needed to center
the pilot hole in the pocket. For reference, the thin shims are 0.02” thick and the thick
shims are 0.04” thick.
Note:
To maintain proper side plate spacing, all (4) shims must be used at all times.
