Got it. My problem to date has been keeping those skinny wrenches on their respective nuts. We'll see if I'm sufficiently coordinated with the aid of "the trick".
Reducing it to one hand should minimize the need for 'coordination'.

Yeah but only if you position the wrenches properly.

It's for sure that I'm not! I've tried it several times with the PC in the RT and they always slip off. But, then, I'm using "bent" wrenches.

If you are not coordinated you might not want to use power tools or much else.

My Bench Dog router lift raises the PC 7518 router moter above the table so no need for the adapter.
