MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER 555970
15
WARNING
This set-up will make it impossible for
you to use your Two-Piece Overarm
Router Fence safely.
Position the two T-nuts in the “front” Miter
Gauge slot of your MARK V’s Worktable,
near the two ends of the slot. Lay the Over-
arm Router Table onto the surface of the
MARK V Table.
Align the left hole in the left pair of coun-
tersunk mounting holes in your Router Table
surface over the outside (or left) 1/4"
threaded hole in the left T-Nut. Insert a
1/4"-20 flathead machine screw through the
countersunk Table hole and thread it into the
T-Nut hole. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to run
the screw down into the hole but do not
tighten it at this time.
Slide the Router Table to the right slightly
until the left hole in the right pair of coun-
tersunk mounting holes in your Router Table
surface align over the outside (or right)
1/4" threaded hole in the right T-Nut. In-
sert a 1/4"-20 flathead machine screw
through the countersunk Table hole and
thread it into the T-Nut hole. Use a 5/32"
Allen wrench to run the screw down into the
hole but do not tighten it at this time.
Loosen MARK V Carriage Lock and raise the
Worktable and Carriage assembly up on the
way tubes to within 5" to 6" of the Deflector
bottom (20). Lock the carriage in place.
Extend the Worktable until the bottoms of
the MARK V Table Tubes are flush with the
bottom of the carriage, then lock the MARK
V table into position.
CAUTION
Never operate the Overarm Router unless
the Table Tubes are extending flush with
the bottom of the Carriage or beyond. Do-
ing so will not provide adequate support
for the Table and could result in damage
to the machine.
For any operation where the cut profile is
such that the Router Bit extends below the
top surface of the Worktable, the Table
should always be aligned so that its center
hole is aligned with the centerpoint of the
Router Bit.
CAUTION
Adequate Worktable Support is
critical for the best results.
It is recommended that you always use
the Telescoping Legs and Connector
Tubes that came with your Model 510 or
520 MARK V to support the outer edge of
the Overarm Router Worktable during op-
erations.
This is especially true if you’re working
with heavier-than-normal workpieces – or
if you have the Arm of your Overarm
Router extended far forward to provide
additional throat capacity.
If you own a Model 505 Anniversary
Edition MARK V, you must purchase two
Connector Tubes (Part # 514439), two
Telescoping Legs (Part # 514529) and two
Adjustable Fittings (514620).
If you own a Model 500 MARK V, a single
Support Leg (Part # 555627) is available
for your machine that attaches around the
lip of the front edge of your Worktable.
