Router Installation

The Model CXR1000 Router Table will
accept Routers with body diameters
from 3.25" to 4.25". It is equipped
with four clamping plates, each
having curved edges, one deep and
one shallow (Fig.34). It will take a
process of trial
determine which curvature holds
your router in position. Do not mix
and match shallow and deep curve
otherwise your router may not centre
over the hole in the table insert and
may run the risk of hitting the table
insert with a bit during operations.

Larger router bodies may need to
remove the
altogether (Fig.35). Use the clamp
and slide blocks to secure the router
in this case.

1. Insert the crank handle into the
index ring on the insert plate as in
(Fig.3) and turn clockwise until the lift
just touches the bottom of the plate.
2. Remove the lift assembly from
the router table and place it upside
down on two blocks of wood (Fig.36)
so the router collect is able to extend
through the hole in the insert plate.
3. Loosen the (4) cap screws that
secure the clamp block to the slide
block. (Fig.36)
