The first is the router mounting plate does not sit flush with the table top. The plate fits pretty tightly in the cutout and I cannot make it sit flush to the table. I would estimate it sits about 1/16" above the table. I ran some material across the table top and it grabs on the mounting plate.
The second is that I cannot center/align the circular cutout in the mounting plate to the router bit. I used the brass alignment pin and centering disc when mounting the router, but the bit is noticeably off center. How critical is this? Should I return the mounting plate? I dont see a way to adjust this misalignment since the router is mounted with with countersink screws which self center in their slot. I am using the 3 hole pattern in the Bosch 1617.
Thanks for the help. |
Call Oak Park. The plate does sit slightly above the table as Woodnut as said. The bit however HAS to be centered. Back off the mounting screws, with the brass pin chucked up, let it recenter. If it's still not centered then the plate may be defective. They will make it right.
