Under-table router

Post by teamtj »

Can someone point me to some instructions on how to properly set up the under-table router on a Mark 7?

I either don't have them or can't find them and feel stupid...

Thanks!

Not sure I understand the question. If you have the router chuck(s) you inset bit it chuck and tighten. Turn table around and then tilt 90 degrees into upside down drill press mode, tilt the unit with motor on bottom, put in router insert, add router fence, and dust collection and you are set.

Since the about seems obvious what is the real question. I am going to use it for the first time tomorrow so please let me know what I am missing except the non-existent instructions for the double-tilt upgrade.
