Mounting your Router to the XACTA LIFT
1. Turn your XACTA LIFT upside down on the
table. With the 5/32 hex wrench supplied,
remove the four 1/4-20 x 1 flat head cap
screws (Fig. 1) and remove the aluminum
carriage plate. (NOTE: If the screws are
blocked, crank the XACTA LIFT with the
adjustment handle until all four screws are
exposed.)
5. See section Router Hole Patterns for a series
of drawings of the master ring with the holes
shaded solid to match many dif ferent routers.
Locate your router and then locate t he proper
holes in the master ring using the drawing as
an aid. With a felt tip marker or pencil, mark a
line on the master ring for each hole that you
will be using for your router.
6. With the holes marked on the master ring,
place the master ring on the base of your
router and rotate it to line up the correct holes
in your router. Don't worry about handle
location at this point as that can be set when
the master ring is re-attached to the aluminum
carriage plate.
7. The master ring is 1/4" thick and may prevent
your screws that come with your router from
engaging your router sufficiently. If this is the
case, source longer flat head screws from your
local hardware or automotive parts supplier.
Wit h the scr ew s yo u re m ove d f ro m your r o uter
(or the longer screws which you acquired)
attach the master ring to your router (Fig. 3).
Lightly secure the screws at first to ensure that
the master ring will locate in the center of your
router, and then tigh ten securely.
Figure 1
2. Remove the master ring from the carriage
plate, by first removing the six 1/4-20 x 3/4 flat
head machine screws that secure the
clamping brackets to the aluminum carriage
plate (Fig. 2).
Figure 2
3. Remove the sub-base and screws that attach
the sub-base to your router. NOTE: If your
sub-base cannot be removed, just remove t he
screws that will be used to attach your router
to the master ring.
Figure 3
8. You must now re-attach the master ring to the
aluminum carriage plate. With the carriage
plate upside down in front of you, slide the
master ring with router attached into place to
engage the recess of the carriage plate (Fig.
4).
4. Lay the master ring on a flat surface wit h the
countersunk holes and the engraving facing
upwards and with the engraved "T" to the
top and the engraved "B" to the bottom.
4
1. Remove the master ring from the carriage
plate (see step #2 above) and place it
engraved side down.
2. Center your router's sub-base onto the master
ring, and rotate the sub-base until there is
minimal interference with any of the pre-drilled
holes in the ring.
3. Clamp the sub-base to the master ring and
use the sub-base holes as a template to drill
the holes into the master ring. Use a bit slightly
larger than your sub-base screws.
Figure 4
9. At this point, take note of the handle location
and on/off switch to ensure they are in the best
location for use. You can rotate the router at
this point to have it in the best possible
location for use. Once satisfied with the router
location, place one of the clamping brackets
into the correct location and feed one of the
1/4-20 x 3/4" flat head screws from under the
aluminum carriage plate and thread into the
clamping bracket. Repeat this step for the
other five clamping brackets.
10. Once the brackets are in place, securely
tighten the six 1/4-20 x 3/4" screws.
11. Using the 1/4-20 x 1" flat head screws
(removed in step 1), re-install the carriage to
the XACTA LIFT (Fig. 5). NOTE: Use the
socket head cap screws as locating pins for
easier installation of the carriage.
4. Remove the clamps and flip the master ring
over so the engraved side with the "T" and "B"
is now face u p.
5. Countersink the holes to suit the router's flat
head screws. (NOTE: If the router you are
mounting does not have flat head screws
holding the sub-base, then source flat head
screws that match at a local supplier.)
6. Continue the assembly process according to
the instructions under Mounting Your Router.
Leveling the XACTA LIFT
Included with your XACTA LIFT are ten 1/4-28 set
screw s a nd 1 /8 he x wr e nch. T he se set sc re ws c a n
be used to level your XACTA LIFT to the table;
thread the set screws into the ten tapped holes in
your XACTA LIFT from above using the 1/8 hex
wrench provided (Fig. 6).
Figure 5
Your router should now be installed onto the
XACTA LIFT.
NOTE: It is unlikely that your router will not fit one
of the hole patterns on the master ring. How ever, if
it will not match, new holes will have to be drilled.
Proceed as follows:
Figure 6
Mounting the Deluxe Fence Assembly
1. Take the three button head Phillips screws and
put one through each hole on the vertical side
of the aluminum fence support (Fig. 7). There
are three holes on each side of the fence
support; do one side at a time. Start the
square nuts on each screw. Do not tighten,
leave loose for installation.
