Locate the Mounting Rail (#1) and slide it over the ¾” Hex Bolts (#5) as
shown. If you intend on using the Kreg Micro-Adjuster (sold separately),
position the mounting rail so it’s fl ush with the front edge of the Table Mount.
If you do not plan on using the Micro-Adjuster, position the Mounting Rail so
it’s fl ush with the back edge of the Table Mount. If necessary, apply pressure
to the top of the Mounting Rail as you tighten the bolts with a 7/16” wrench to
ensure the fence stays fl ush with the table top.

Note: If you are using a homemade or other type of router table top you should
only hand tighten the Bolts/Nuts down at this point. You will need to make
further adjustments before you can secure the assembly.

Step 3

Locate the Clamp Block (#2) and slide it onto the Mounting Rail (#1).
Thread two Nylon Set Screws (#29) into the front of the Clamp Block (as
shown) using a Flat-Head Screwdriver. The Nylon Set Screws should be
driven to the same depth until they just come in contact with the Clamp
Block. Back each of the Nylon Screws out 1/8 of a turn and lock them in
place using two 10-32 Hex Nuts (#32). These nylon set screws take the
‘play’ out of the fence and allows for more fl uid motion of the Mounting Rail.
Make adjustments as necessary.

Step 4

Locate the Fence Mount (#3) and align the four holes with the corresponding
holes on the Clamp Block (#2). Secure the two together using the four Brass
Washers (#17) and four ¼-20 x 3/8” Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws (#18),
without tightening completely. You will need to adjust the positioning of the
Fence Mount in Step 11 before tightening.

Note: If you’re using a homemade or other type of router table, you must
align and secure the Mounting Rail and Clamp Block before starting this step.
Tighten down the four ¼-20 x ¾” Hex Bolts -- which you previously inserted
through the slotted holes in the Table Mount -- making sure the top edge of the
Clamp Block (#2) is fl ush or 1/32” below the surface of your router table top and
that the Clamp Block and Mounting Rail (#1) run perfectly parallel to the edge of
the table top.

Step 7

Attach the Dust Port (#14) to the back of the Large Fence (#4) using four ¼-
20 x 3/8” Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws (#18) so that the port angles up,
making it easy to attach a vacuum hose.

Step 9

Insert six ¼-20 x 1” Phillips Flat Head Machine Screws (#22) through the
pre-drilled/countersunk holes in the two separate Fence Faces and barely
thread the six corresponding ¼” Jam Nuts (#27) onto the Screws. Be sure
to use the thinner Jam Nuts and not the thicker Hex Nuts. The Hex Nuts
are too large to slide into the t-slot of the Fence. With the bolts and nuts
secured onto the Fence Faces, take each Face and slide it onto the front
t-slot of the Fence, center, and tighten each bolt down securely

Step 8

Flip the Large Fence over. On the underside of the Fence you will fi nd two
slots running down the length of the extrusion. Insert the eight Trak Bumpers
(#34), aproximately 4.5” and 12” from each end, as shown in the image.
Correctly installed Trak Bumpers will reduce friction and ensure the fence
glides smoothly across the table top.

Step 6

Next, attach the two Fence End Caps (#7) to each end of the Large Fence
(#4) using the eight ¼” nylon Snap Rivets (#21). These caps need to be
attached so the four curved notches on the end caps line up with the four
curved notches on the Large Fence.

Step 12

On the other end of the fence, slide the head of a ¼-20 x ¾” Hex Bolt (#31)
into the T-Slot. Slide the slotted end of the Right Angle Bracket (#12) around
the Hex Bolt and fasten with one ¼” Fender Washer (#33) and one ¼” Hex
Nut. Before tightening the nut, align the Right Angle Bracket over the 6” slot
on the left side of the Kreg Router Table Top. Place the Brass T-Nut (#30)
through the slot from the underside of the Router Table Top and attach the
Extension Knob Asembly (#13) by putting it through the Right Angle Bracket
and threading it into the Brass T-Nut. Once the right angle bracket is correctly
positionred, tighten the hex nut to secure it into place.

Step 10

Slide the two ¼-20 x 2-1/4” Hex Bolts (#26) into the T-slot on the back of
the Large Fence (#4) next to the Fence Mount (#3). Adjust the position of
the two bolts so that they fi t into the two slots on top of the Fence Mount
and move the fence so its centered on the router bit opening. Lock the
fence into place using two ¼” Brass Washers (#17). and two T-Knobs
(#16).

Step 11

With the fence centered on the bit opening, use a rule to bring the fence
perfectly parallel to the miter slot. Tighten the four ¼-20 3/8” Phillips Pan
Head Machine Screws (#18) that you installed earlier in Step 5, to lock the
fence into position.
