How do you keep the router bit from chewing up the template?

I work very carefully and deliberately, and I've still nicked the templates a few times. You really do need to pay close attention. I'll usually squat down as I set my router down onto the template to make sure I'm inside it, and when done, I'm careful to lift the router straight up and away. Don't worry about speedy production. You're already so much faster with this than chopping hinge mortises by hand.

The kit comes with bushings that should be installed on the base of your router. The bushing will ride along the template edge when routing your mortise on door edge and prevent your bit from chewing up your template. When routing door jamb use care when placing your router against jamb. I find that when routing jamb mortise, it's best to start in the middle of mortise and work towards edges of template.Also make sure your router depth is set properly and bushing rides along edge of template. And above all, work slow! Good luck

I'm not sure, but the rails that secure it to the base of the router are not adjustable.

You aim the logo AWAY from the area you're trying to boost. I've tested this using speedtest.net, and found that aiming the logo away would give me double the mbps.They really should put instructions on the box, but I guess they figured you'd have the router lying flat, which would force you put the logo on the backside of the router.This might be why so many people are reporting no change at all, since I've only seen it suggested here that you face the logo towards the area you're trying to hit.

I have Porter Cable routers, so I don't use that plate. I suspect it is used to accommodate different plate openings.

The router lift makes changing bits so simple, I would recommend some sor t of lift. I have the kreg lift and the fine adjustment would not be possible without out , and changing bits are a breeze especially if you get a offset wrench .

Yep, I own that very model of router. You just have to swap out the plastic plate on it currently with the circular one that comes with the router table. You just need a phillips screwdriver to swap out the plates.

you need to make sure the router is stable and I had to put a block of wood strapped to the router and the block of wood secure to something solid and then it is still easy to move the bit and tool when routing. the table is to flimsy to hold anything solid

The exact answer I can not give you. I use Incra table. I can advise to look at the resources:http://www.incrementaltools.com/INCRA_Mast_R_Lift_II_p/incra%20mast-r-lift%20ii.htmhttp://www.incrementaltools.com/24_x_36_Offset_Router_Table_Top_p/rt2436os.htm

Your router should have a lock on it. I have two different brands of routers and both have locks. Once I adjust the depth and run a scrap piece of wood through it, I lock it. Actually, I lock it even using the scrap piece, as it just takes a second to do. I think you'll love the Router Raizer. But be careful with the small magnetic disc that covers the hole that gives you access to the small adjustment hole. It keeps saw dust out of the hole, which covers the Allen type screw you adjust it with. I somehow lost mine, but I just blow out the dust with my mouth. I've never had the saw dust pack in tight enough to need an air compressor. Your router should have a lock on it. I have two different brands of routers and both have locks.

I am sorry I do not. I have mine in a Hawk router table and have never had any troubles. It just uses the depth adjustor in the base. Maybe you have some saw dust built up in the threads. Does the locking clamp on the base still work?

I have the same router on mine. I had to drill new holes to fit mine on it. It wasnt difficult at all. Just place the router on the jig with the bit centered in the hole and trace it out. Then take the bottom plastic piece off the base to mark the holes out. Just dont forget to countersink the screw heads into the jig and drill through it slowly to avoid cracking the jig.

I hope you realize that you must unclamp the router before making height adjustments above table. I cant see any other reason that you would have difficulties raising or lowering the router otherwise. It's not a true above the table adjustable router

I cannot answer these two questions without removing the router from its housing in my router table--way too much trouble, as once it is in place, it stays there. I recommend that you contact Porter Cable directly and get this information.

If he made his own router table, he won't need additional parts outside of a few screws. The fixed base will fasten directly to the underside of the table, so long as the gentleman has drilled matching holes centered around the hole the bit will sit through. Of course, he will need longer screws to reach through the thickness of the board, but we are talking pennies here.

The Plate has no holes for mounting a router, the router is clamped in between three jaws

I have used this router mounted upside down in a router table many times without any problems. On my router table the opening in the table is only a little bit large than the router bit. There is dust and small chips that drops down some of which probably enters the router, but a periodic blast of air during routine maintenance has kept my router running smoothly.

The two holes at the end of the plate bolt to the aluminum under the baseplate of the router. Will only work for specific Dewalt Routers.You need to take the plastic base off the bottom of the router.
