W1736 Overarm Router
For stable and safe operation, the overarm router should
be mounted to a workbench.
If you intend on using the overarm router for portable
applications, mount it to a heavy plywood base (at least
1" thick) that is wide enough to prevent tipping or rock-
ing. Clamp the base to the workbench or stable work sur
-
face before operating the router.
To mount the overarm router, do these steps:
1. Determine the surface or object to which you will
mount your overarm router, ensure that you have
enough space for the table footprint (
Figure 6),
and obtain the needed hardware for your mounting
application.
Note: Bolts/screws should be long enough to
account for the thickness of the table and the sup
-
porting surface you are mounting it to.
2. Fasten the table of the overarm router to your sup-
porting surface.
3. Check the stability of the mounted overarm router
to make sure it is stable enough to be used safely.
