Mark the centre of the holes onto the base. Remove plate and mark the centre of the holes with a centre punch. Drill a hole at these points with a 6mm diameter drill bit. Clean up edges of holes if required. 4. 5. 10. Countersink the hole with a countersink bit to a depth so the heads of the screws are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created.
Note If you do not have the necessary equipment to carry out operations 7 and 8, then a local engineering shop will be able to carry them out accurately.
Re-drilling both Insert Plate and Router Base
Invert the router and lay the insert plate onto the upturned base, ensuring threaded insert hole is in the correct position. Clamp the insert plate and router base together with two cramps. Ensuring that the drill bit will not foul any webbing or fixtures on the router base, drill with a 6mm diameter drill bit into the insert plate and through the router base two holes approximately 75mm apart. Unclamp the router base and insert plate. Countersink the insert plate holes with a countersink bit to a depth so the screw heads are slightly below the top surface. Clean off any burrs created on both the insert plate and router base.

Re-drilling of Insert Plate

Remove or photocopy the plan from the appendix of this manual. Invert the router and lay the plan onto the base. Identify the appropriate holes on the plan to fit your model of router. Line up the plan with the holes on the router and check the accuracy of their positions. Draw cross lines on the insert plate with a pencil. These cross lines bi-secting the plate on both sides.
Cut around the plan of the router base so that the cross lines drawn on the paper plan are dissected. Line up the lines on the insert plate and the lines on the paper plan, ensuring that the threaded insert hole match. Stick the paper plan onto the insert plate. Using a centre punch, mark centres of holes. Drill the required hole size with a suitable metal drill bit. Best results will be obtained if your power drill is mounted in a drill stand.

Screw just enough to leave a few threads protruding through the nut. Place the Insert Plate into the large opening in the table. The position of the plate should be with the Threaded Hole to the front right of the Table Surface, see fig. G2. While pressing down on the Insert plate, gradually adjust the Insert Plate Adjustable Bolts with a screwdriver until the Insert Plate is level with the Table Surface. A steel rule or T-square can be placed on the top of the Insert Plate to help this levelling process. The Insert Plate must be be supported equally on all four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts. When pressure is applied, the Insert Plate should be stable. Insert the four Insert Plate Retaining Bolts and fit the four Nylock Nuts to secure the Insert Plate to the Table Surface, and tighten securely, see fig. G.3.

Selecting & Fitting Insert Plate Rings

The Insert Plate Rings are designed to support the workpiece around the cutter to avoid small timber sections tipping or flexing when being machined.
First separate all Insert Plate Rings from each other using a sharp knife and trim off all flashes, see fig. J.1.
Selecting the correct size of Ring
Select an Insert Plate Ring with an inside diameter approximately 1/4" (6mm) larger than the maximum diameter of the cutter to be used. This will give 1/8" (3mm) gap around the cutter to allow the chips to clear. An Insert Plate Ring is not required for cutters having a diameter of 1 3/4" (45mm) or larger, as the Insert Plate will provide enough support for the workpiece. Do not use router cutters having diameters larger than 50mm (2"). Always ensure the aperture on the base of your router will allow the cutter to protrude through it without touching it.

Using you thumb, press down on the Insert Plate Ring until the small tab snaps into position. Ensure the Insert Plate Ring is fully seated into the Aperture Hole. To remove the Insert Plate Ring, release the small tab from the edge of the Aperture Hole and pull the Ring out.
Fitting Lead-on Pin Fig. J.2
The Lead-on Pin is a safety feature for profiling straight or shaped workpieces with a bearing guided cutter without using a back fence. It will prevent the cutter from snatching the workpiece, especially when using larger cutters or when making heavier cuts. The use of the optional accessory Profiling Top Guard is highly recommended to safely carry out this type of routing operation. See section Y for more information. Identify the Lead-On Pin, see below.

Assembly of Spring Pressure Clamps 6.
The Optional Spring Pressure Clamps can be mounted to the Back Fence. When adjusted to suit the width and thickness of the material, it ensures the material is held down onto the surface to obtain accurate machining of the workpiece. The Back Fence is pre-drilled to accept both Spring Pressure Clamps.
Slide Pressure Strip into the slot in Horizontal Bar aligning the holes. Insert the Retaining Screw ensuring it goes in through the un-threaded side of the hole first.
Before tightening the Vertical Pillar Bolts, ensure that the Vertical Pillar will allow the block to be positioned parallel to the Back Fence with the knob engaging on the flat of the Vertical Pillar.
Adjustment The Spring Pressure Clamps will require adjusting to suit the height and width of material being routed. The Pressure Strips should provide enough pressure to prevent the material lifting from the Table Surface, but not too much as to create friction which would prevent the material from sliding freely. The block assembly with Horizontal Bar and Pressure Strip can be removed from the Vertical Pillars when not required. The Vertical Pillars can be left in position and will not impede the Tenon Push Block system.

Assembly of Profiling Top Guard Adjustment 1.
The use of the optional accessory, Profiling Top Guard is highly recommended to safely carry out the profiling of workpieces with a bearing guided cutter. It will prevent the operator's fingers inadvertantly contacting the cutter.
The height of the Perspex Guard should be adjusted to leave a 6mm to 12mm gap between the top of the workpiece and the underside of the guard. This will prevent fingers coming into contact with the cutter. To adjust the height undo the wing nuts, re-position the guard and retighten.
Fit the Bolt, Star Washer, Spring Washer and Nut in the sequence as indicated below. Tighten nut securely with a 8mm spanner. Fit Plate, Washer and Wing Nut. Slide the Perspex Guard in between the Plate and edge of Table Surface. Gently tighten Wing Nuts.

OPERATION
Edging and Profiling using the Back Fence
The router table has many advantages when profiling and edging operations are to be carried out especially on narrow workpieces. A Fine Height Adjuster fitted to the router will make adjustment of the height far easier and hence is highly recommended.
NOTE: Make a test cut on a piece of waste material prior to carrying out any routing operation.

Craft Range Ref. C020

If bearing guided cutters are used, ensure that the Back Fence is in line with the bearing or slightly behind it. The Back Fence will give more support and provides the retractable Safety Dust Guard and Spring Pressure Clamp facility. 5. 6. 7. Lock Back Fence Fixing Bolts. Release plunge mechanism on router. Adjust the depth of cut using the Fine Adjuster (if fitted), see fig. V.2b. Lock-off plunge mechanism of router. Lower Safety Dust Guard and check it will retract freely over the workpiece. Adjust the Spring Pressure Clamps (if fitted) to suit the thickness and width of the timber. Ensure that you have a Pushstick within easy reach when routing. Switch on router. Pass timber over cutter with a consistant feed speed.

Example

A typical application using the Profiling Top Guard is in the routing of shields from MDF Board (Medium Density Fibreboard) as follows:
If you are unfamiliar with the above procedure then the technique should be practised before switching on the router.

Design of shield

Special Notes 1.

Producing a Shield 1.

Construct an actual size template of the shield design from 6mm MDF, hardwood or plywood ensuring that it is accurate and free from imperfections. Remember the finished product will only be as good as the template. Fix the template to the back of the workpiece to be used using screws or double sided tape. Rough cut the workpiece to the shape of the template using a band saw or jigsaw leaving 2-3mm oversize. Remove the Back Fence assembly from the table. Fit the Lead-on Pin as described in section K. Fit the fine height adjuster if one is available for your router. This will allow the height of the cutter to be adjusted accurately. Fit a self-guided trimmer cutter. Lay the workpiece (with template fitted) face down on the table surface. Adjust the height of the cutter using the plunge and lock mechanism on the router or use the fine height adjuster (if fitted). Ensure that the bearing will contact the template and the cutting edge of the cutter will machine the full edge of the workpiece. See fig. Y.1. Lock-off plunge mechanism of router to ensure that the plunge mechanism will not inadvertently move during routing. Fit the Profiling Top Guard as described in Section T and adjust height to give a 6-12mm gap between the top of cutter and underside of template. Switch router on and allow to reach full running speed.
a. Position the workpiece against the Lead-On Pin as shown in fig. Y.3. The Workpiece should not contact the cutter.
Always keep the workpiece moving in a precise steady movement to prevent the material from burning. Never let go of the workpiece. Always keep an even pressure of the workpiece against the bearing. Do not use too much pressure. If you wish to stop routing halfway through the operation. Simply slide the workpiece away from the cutter before switching off the router. If the template inadvertently comes away from the bearing and so does not emulate the template, do not stop. Complete the operation and repeat the procedure for the edge concerned. It is advisable to repeat the operation in order to improve the finish of the workpiece. Keeps hands away from the cutter, even if the guard is fitted, in order to give a good safety margin.
Minimal finishing should be required before the next operation. If natural woods are used, consideration should be given to breakout of short grain which will effect your decision as to where to start the routing operation in order to prevent it.

Moulding the Shield

A suitable bearing guided cutter should be chosen to mould the shield.
The following precautions should be made to avoid a potentially dangerous situation:
Remove plug from mains. Fit chosen moulding cutter. Adjust height of cutter to achieve shape required. If the full edge of the workpiece is to be machined leave the template attached to the workpiece so as to provide a guide for the bearing. Otherwise the template can be removed, providing there is sufficient edge for the bearing to follow. See fig Y.2. Repeat the same routing procedure as before. If the profile required involves excessive removal of material, it is advisable to take two passes with the cutter. First reduce the height of the cutter protruding from the table, this in effect, reduces the amount of material which will be removed, or fit a larger bearing, if one is available for that particular cutter. The second pass can then be made to give the required finish.
Fit the Profiling Top Guard, this will prevent fingers contacting the cutter. Always rout in the direction which opposes the direction of rotation of the cutter. Routing with the direction of the cutter is called back-cutting and will cause snatching. Use the Lead-On Pin to provide support for the workpiece during the initial start of the routing operation, it will also ensure that you approach the cutter from the correct side. When a deep cut is required or the material is particularly dense, then take two or three passes. Ensure the cutter always has a sharp cutting edge. Do not reduce pressure of the workpiece or let go of it. Always keep both hands on the workpiece and keep an even pressure against the guide bearing. Do not use too great a feed speed. If the revolutions of the router drop, it is a good indication that either too deep a pass is being made and/or the cutter is blunt. Therefore reduce the depth of cut and/or resharpen your cutter.
Carrying out this two stage routing operation has many advantages.
a. Improved finish on workpiece b. Less load on cutter and router c. Far less risk of workpiece snatching Definition of Snatching
This can be described as the cutter catching the workpiece and projecting it away from the direction of rotation. The workpiece is often taken from the operator's hands and projected across the work area. It can have potentially dangerous consequences if the cutter is unguarded and/or the operator's hands are too close to the cutter. Damage to the cutter can also be caused.
If the above points are followed, profile routing using bearing guided cutters is both safe and rewarding. It is however advisable for those new to routing to avoid using larger diameter cutters until proficient with the technique described. Under no circumstances should this type of operation be carried out with cutters not having a guide ball bearing or pin.

End Cutting with the Tenon Push Block
Typical width of tenon is 1/3 of thickness of material
The Push Block facility is ideal for producing tenons and sliding dovetails. The retractable dust guard cannot be used when carrying our push block operations. Therefore extra care must be taken to ensure that hands are kept well clear of the cutter. Ensure that the workpiece is true and the end is square and smooth.

Shoulder

Face Side Face Edge
Mount push block assembly on the Back Fence, see section L. Fit the correct insert ring into the the insert plate to suit the diameter of the cutter being used, see section J. Adjust the height and depth of the cutter to suit the cut required. Position workpiece between Clamp Plate and Push Block so that it's side is flush against the face of the Back Fence, the end to be cut is resting on the edge of the insert plate hole and edge marked with lines 'A' and 'B' is facing the router cutter.
