Mounting The Router - Ryobi RT501W Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Always unplug router and remove router bits before
mounting to router table. Remove the fence, the
insert, the featherboards and the miter guide from the
tabletop before mounting the router.
There are three methods for attaching routers to router
table. The table will accept routers with bases up to 7" in
diameter. See chart below to see whether your router will
mount directly to the table or will require the use of the
adapter plate provided. It is also possible to attach the
router to router table with the universal clamping system.
NOTE: If your router is not one of those listed in the chart,
place the adapter base plate on top of the router base
plate and rotate until the holes in the two plates are
aligned. When hole patterns line up, the mounting scheme
has been identified.

NOTE: If your router does not fit adapter base plate or if
you wish to mount router directly to the table for greater
cutting depth, remove the base plate from your router and
attach the router with the universal clamping system.
WARNING:
Do not remove the metal reinforcement plate mounted
to under side of the table top. The reinforcement plate
is necessary for the proper function of this router table.

Round Adapter Base Plate
See Figure 12 and 13
1. Remove the base plate from router.
2. Place the adapter base plate (F) on the router base
according to mounting pattern identified in chart. See
Figures 12.
3. Use the screws removed from the router base plate to
attach the adapter base plate to the router base.
Tighten screws securely.
4. Routers with A and AB hole pattern use three counter-
sink 5/16" - 18 X 3/4" screws (AM), to attach the
adapter base plate (F) to the router. For Ryobi routers
RE600 and RE601 use three M 8 x 20 countersink
screws (AN).
5. To mount Craftsman
E-hole pattern to the adapter plate (F), three
10 - 32 x 1/2" countersink screws are required (not pro-
vided).
