Attach the router to the router
table after you have assem-
bled the table.
1. Place the router table
upright, with the front edge
closest to you.
2. Be sure that the table is
stable and that it rests on
all four legs.
3. Remove the sub-base
from the fixed-based
router supplied.

Hold the router upside down, and align the three holes in the center of the table
with the holes in the router, as shown in Fig. 4. Position the router so that the screw
holes used for attachment are not directly above either of the router handles.
Insert a flat-head screw through each of the three router-table holes into the
router holes.
6. Hold the router with one hand, and securely tighten each flat-head screw (9)
with the other hand.
If you install a different router (one not supplied to the table), ensure that the diam-
eter of the router sub-base does not exceed 6-7/8 inches. Six mounting holes for the
router are distributed in the center of the table; the distance between two opposite
holes is 5-3/8". Select three
appropriate holes to mount the
router to the table. (Fig. 5)
The adjusting hole in the table,
shown in Fig. 5, is for cutting
height adjustment of the router
supplied (Model No. 17541) or
the following Craftsman rout-
ers: 17542 and 17543.
