Precision Router Table Top Assembly

Turn the Router Table top (#2) so it’s face down on the fl oor. Locate the two
Support Struts (#7) and align them to the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of
the Router Table Top. Mount the struts to the top using the eight ¾” Coarse
Thread Screws (#16). Be careful not to over tighten.

Note: To avoid damaging the table’s surface, be sure not to use the
longer 1-1/4” screws (#11) on this step.

Use the curved tab on the Insert Plate Levelers (#8) to locate each Leveler
in the corner of the Insert Plate opening and fasten them in to place using
three 1-1/4” coarse thread screws (#11) per leveler. Be careful not to
overtighten.

Thread the eight 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” cup point socket set screws (#10) into the
two holes as shown, and thread about half way in.

Note: These Insert Plate Levelers will be used in Step 6 to mount and
level the Precision Router Table Insert Plate.

For proper mounting and alignment purposes, it’s best to leave the Router
Table Top (#2) face down on the fl oor. Turn the Universal Steel Stand upside
down and align the four rails with the pre-drilled holes on the bottom side of the
Table Top. The Kreg logo, located on the front of the stand should be located
on the same side and parallel to the T-Miter Track opening on the Router Table
Top. Once the table is positioned correctly, use a 6” #2 Square driver bit and
twelve ¾” Coarse Screws (included with the Universal Steel Stand) to secure
the two together, being careful not to over tighten.

Note: The included hardware was intended for use with the Kreg Univer-
sal Steel Stand. If you are working with another stand, be sure to double-
check your hardware sizes to ensure that the screws do not puncture the
surface of the top when tightened. Also be sure to leave the 6” slotted
opening on the table’s surface free from obstruction.

The starting pin included with your router table is useful when routing
curves. It supports the edge of your work piece and allows you to gently
ease your work into the router bit. It should only be used with router bits
that have a bearing.

Start with your work piece touching the starter pin, but not in contact with
the router bit. Ease the material into the cutter and make contact with
the ball bearing on the bit.

Your table should have shipped with the T-Miter Track (#3) already inserted
into the slot on the front portion of the router table surface. Begin by aligning
the Trak to the pre-drilled holes and attach with three 10-32 x ¾” Phillips Flat
Head Machine Screws (#15).

Step 1: Attaching the T-Miter Trak

In Use: Starting Pin

Once you’ve made solid contact with the ball bearing you can ease off of
the starting pin and allow the work piece to glide along the bit’s bearing.
