I am very new to routing. I installed an RA 1181 aluminum top in my Delta 36-725T2 saw. I used the fixed base from my Bosch 1617 as a lift which has an above table adjustment. It has to be me not knowing something. I have so far;
1. Removed the original black base.
2. Installed 1/2" shank bits.
3. Moved the major adjustment ( 3 settings) to the top.
4. The router is physically striking the bottom of the base and can not go higher.
5. The microadjust is also as high as the base will allow. The angled portion of the router is striking the bottom of the base and will go no further.
6. Mount is flush with bottom of plate.
Have I found a reason why the fixed base is not a good lift ??? The bottom of a slot bit is only appx 1/8" above table. I set the bit in and raise it appx 1/16th inch.
Thanks any help.
