Ensure the template is held securely on the mounting surface.
If the template moves during the cutting process, the cutout will be enlarged
and will likely exceed the trim bezel of the Hydraport base
assembly, requiring extensive repair to the mounting surface.
4.
Install the router guide bushing into the base of a suitable router.
5.
Switch the router on and carefully lower (plunge) the router bit into the mounting surface within the
template opening.
6.
Move the router against the template opening such that the guide bushing follows along the template
opening.
7.
Carefully follow the template opening with the guide bushing in a clockwise fashion such that the cutting
action of the router bit is acting against the motion of the router.
8.
Make several passes with the router, guide bushing and router bit.
9.
Lower the router bit in small increments to remove a suitable amount of material on each pass.
Trying to cut too deep in any one pass may result in damage to the mounting
surface.
10.
Finally, remove template by pulling firmly on the rounded edges of the double-sided tape mounting strips
until they release from the tabletop and template.

Note that due to the guide bushing and router bit, the final cutout will be smaller than the opening in
the template. The cutout in the mounting surface will be offset to the inside of the template opening
by 1/8th inch (3.2 mm) on all sides.
Note both the position and orientation of the template relative to the table top or other mounting
surface.
Note that very little clearance exists between the Hydraport assembly and the hole cutout in the
mounting surface. Take care to align the cutout carefully with the edges or other appropriate
features in the table or mounting surface. If the cutout is misaligned, the installed unit will be
misaligned.
The router should be equipped with a ½ inch (12.2mm) collet and a baseplate capable of accepting
a standard 1 3/16 inch (30.2mm) guide bushing.
Install the router bit into the router with an appropriate portion of the bit exposed below the guide
bushing.
Take care to ensure that the top surface of the mounting surface is not damaged beyond the width of
the trim bezel as the cutout is made.
Make sure the bit or cutting tool used is appropriate for the material to be cut and will not tear or
chip the top surface.
AMX does NOT recommend using a Jigsaw to make the final cutout.
Note that the process of making the cutout will create substantial dust and prepare the environment
appropriately.
