Preparing the HPX Installation Router Guide

1/2” x 4” wood strips

Wood strips
should span
the width of
the mounting
surface

Use a minimum of four short screws to
secure the Router Guide to the wood strips

Routing area

Wood strips secur ed to
the Router Guide with
at least four screws

Mounting

surface

Sandwich the mounting surface between soft wood for protection

soft wood
(under ­surface)

1. Cut two 1/2-inch x 4-inch strips of soft, finished wood. The wood strips
should be long enough to span the distance from the installation
location to the edges of the mounting surface.

2. Use four or more short lock nut screws to secure the router guide to the
wood strips (FIG.5):

FIG. 5 Securing the router guide

CAUTION: To avoi d d amagi ng the mount ing s urfac e, do no t allow the s crew s to
protrude through the bottom of the wood strips.

Preparing the Mounting Surface

1. Mark the desired mounting location on the mounting surface.

2. Place the router guide/wood strip assembly on the mounting surface, and
center the assembly on the mounting location.

3. Position a sheet of soft wood beneath the mounting surface to “sandwich”
the mounting surface with soft wood. Thi s will protect both sides of the
mounting surface during installation (FIG.6):

Cutting the Hole In the Mounting Surface

CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when operating the router. Failure to comply
may result in eye injury.

Use the specified guide bushing and router bit:

• Guide Bushing: Woodcraft 144693 (.75” or 19 mm OD)

• Router Bit: Straight-Cut Router bit: Freud 12-128 or Whiteside 1072
(0.5” or 12mm / 12.7mm OD)

1. Carefully measure the mounting surface to locate the desired position of
the HPX Base Assembly.

2. Use the appropriate Installation Router Guide to mark the edges of the
cutout.

3. Carefully cut the opening in the table surface with the router.

• Note that very little clearance exists between the HPX Base Assembly and
the hole cutout in the mounting surface.

• Take care to align the cutout carefully with the edges or other appropriat e
features in the table or mounting surface.

• If the cutout is misaligned, the installed unit will be misaligned.

• Take care to ensure that the top surface of the mounting surface is not
damaged beyond the width of the trim bezel as the cutout is made.

• Use an appropriate drill and drill bit to make a starting hole within the
boundary of the cutout. Use an appropriate saw, such as a jigsaw to finish
the cutout.

• Make sure cutting tool used is appropriate for the material to be cut and will
not tear or chip the top surfa ce.

• Note that the process of making the cuto ut will create substantial dust and
prepare the environment appropriately.

4. File the four corners of the routing area square after routing.
