METHOD
(FIGS.
17 AND
18)
1. Cut a board 184¼ in. wide by 29 in. long from a piece
of 3/4 in. thick plywood
or other flat stock.
2. Set the router table on the board, with the FRONT
(switch side) of the router table facing toward
you, so
that the spacing
between
the router table legs and the
edges of the board is equal on all sides.
3. While holding the router table in the desired
position,
mark the location
of the four mounting
holes (one in
each corner).
4. Remove the router table from the board and set it
aside.
5. Drill a 1/8 in. pilot hole (for wood screws) at the
marked locations.
6. Place the router table on the board and align the
mounting
holes in the router table legs with the holes
drilled in the board.
7. Secure the router table in place using wood screws
and washers (not provided).
Applying
a little soap or
beeswax
to the screw threads will make it easier to
thread the screws into the pilot holes.
8. TIGHTEN all screws SECURELY.
9. Place the router table on a workbench
or other
stable and sturdy surface.
Firmly secure the board to
the workbench
with screws (Fig. 17), clamps
(Fig. 18),
or other suitable
means.
