Assembly
STEP 11C
Fit the inner track to the left side of the Compact
(when viewed from the switch-box end) by locating
the brackets over the square tube, as shown in (Fig.
8). Close the jaw of the bracket around the tube
and tighten the clamp knobs until they hold the jaw
firmly closed, front and rear. To remove the track
loosen the clamp knobs half a turn until the flat
faces of the knobs allow the jaws to swing open.
Aligning the Tracks on a Compact Table
STEP 12C
Position the outer track parallel to the inner track
approximately 28" apart. Place the table onto the
tracks with the inner (smaller) bearings on the inner
track. Always fit the table this way. Slide the table to
each end of its travel and adjust the position of the
outer track. The lengthened outer bearings make
this a non-critical adjustment.
STEP 13C
Adjust the height of the outer track until the fence is
level, and parallel to the Compact table.
Check the sliding table throughout its travel for
diagonal rocking on the tracks, and fine tune the
height of the outer track if necessary. Adjust the
height stops on the outer track legs to lock-in the
correct height.
Next it will be necessary to fine-tune the height
of the inner track. Fit the extension table fence to
the sliding table and extend it across the Compact
table. The fence should sit around 1 ⁄
32
” above the
Compact. Slide the table to the rear of the Compact
and check that it is level throughout the travel
range. If necessary remove the inner track from
the track clamp and insert one or both Shims (31)
between the front and/or rear clamp and track.
Loosely re-fit the bolts and nuts.
STEP 14C
With the sliding table positioned midway along the
Compact, engage the front and rear locking latches
(Fig. 10). Adjust the self-tapping screws on the
inner bearings until the heads enter the rectangular
windows and the table cannot be lifted. (It will be
necessary to unlock the latches and lift the table
clear to make these adjustments).
STEP 15C
The last step is to fine-tune the inner track position
in the horizontal plane, to ensure that the extension
table scales are accurate.
With the extension table fitted and locked, and the
fence removed, insert the Compact rip fence and
set it to 16" using the Compact scale pointers.
Adjust the inner track sideways until both front and
rear scales read exactly 16", (Fig. 11), when sighting
down the face of the Compact rip fence. Tighten the
Nyloc nuts then remove the Compact rip fence.
Your Sliding Extension Table is now fully assembled
and ready for use. Skip to the 'Operating' section.
FITTING TO A ROUTER STAND
STEP 10R
Loosely fit the TCA/RSA Brackets (38), Spacer
Blocks (39) and Shims (31) onto the two inside
brackets on the Inner Track using the M6 x 50
Coach Bolts (32), Washers (13) and Nyloc Nuts
(24), as shown. (Fig. 5). Note the orientation of the
brackets in regard to the long and short overhang of
the inner track.
STEP 11R
Fit the inner track to the left side of the Router
Stand (when viewed from the switch-box end)
by locating the brackets over the square tube,
as shown in (Fig. 9). Close the jaw of the bracket
around the tube and tighten the clamp knobs until
they hold the jaw firmly closed, front and rear. To
remove the track loosen the clamp knobs half a turn
until the flat faces of the knobs allow the jaws to
swing open.
Aligning the Tracks on a Router Stand
STEP 12R
Position the outer track parallel to the inner track
approximately 28" away from it. Place the table
onto the tracks with the Inner Bearings (6) on the
inner track. Always fit the table in this way. Slide the
table to each end of its travel and adjust the position
of the outer-track. The lengthened outer bearings
make this a non-critical adjustment.
STEP 13R
Adjust the height of the outer track until the fence is
level, and parallel to the Router Table.
