Woodhaven 6000: Horizontal Router Table - Manual (Page 2)

BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all the parts
listed. Read the instructions at least once, familiarizing
yourself with the parts, before beginning. You’ll need a #3
Phillips screwdriver and a 7/16" wrench for assembly.
DRILL ROUTER MOUNTING HOLES
Drill the screw mounting holes in the router plate (6000P,
follow instructions with plate) for the router you will be using.
We recommend a standard base router because it's easier to
change bits, but plunge routers will work. Some routers may
require that the handles be removed. If that’s not possible, try
mounting the router with the handles angled. Check this before
drilling the router plate to insure it will work. As a guide, follow
the directions in the Router Mounting Instruction sheet but
make sure to mount the router so the controls are accessible
when mounted in the horizontal router table. Don’t mount your
router yet, just drill the mounting holes in the router plate.
ATTACH PLATE & TRACKS
The router plate has ribs on both short sides that guide
the plate in the tracks. For reference purposes, the top of
the plate has two 1/4-20 threaded holes located parallel to
the long edge of the plate, near the center. See fig. 2.
On two ratchet handles (5859), insert a washer
(WS002) on the stud, insert the studs thru the top two
corners of the router plate and start an oval nut (5760B -
smooth side first) on the ends of the studs. See fig. 1.
Install four 1" screws (MF015) thru the four countersunk
holes in the router plate and start a track guide (6000G -
chamfered side first) on the ends of the screws. The hole gets
tighter as you tighten the screw in the track guide, reducing
any chance of vibration loosening the screw. See fig. 1.
Slide a 24" Double Track (4024) on the oval nut
and two track guides on each short side of the router
plate. Position the Double Tracks so the 1-1/2" wide
smooth sides are facing each other and the T-slot sides
are facing out away from each other. See fig. 1 & 2.
The rib on each side of the router plate should be
in the T-slot of the track. Loosely snug all four 1" screws
until the track won't slide, then loosen the screws until
it slides smoothly but not loosely. There should be some
tension on the track. Center the router plate on the Double
Tracks and tighten the ratchet handles. See fig. 2.
ATTACH SIDES & TRACKS
Install a washer (WS002) on the sixteen 1-1/4" bolts
(HB040). Insert the bolts thru the holes shown in the pair of
phenolic sides (6000S) and start an oval nut (5760B - smooth
side first) on the ends of the bolts. The sides should look like
mirror images of each other when done. See fig. 3 & 8.
Slide a 9-1/4" Double Track (4009) and a 6" Double
Track (4006) onto the oval nuts located near the long
edges of each side. Position the tracks even with the end
and edges of each side and tighten the bolts. See fig. 3.
Lay the 24" Double Tracks/Router Plate on a flat
surface and slide the two sides/oval nuts at the back
of the sides on to the two tracks. Square the tracks
to the sides, adjust the tracks flush to the bottom of
the sides and tighten the four bolts. See fig. 4.
