Attaching the Router

to the Router Plate

The Router Boss router plate comes with pre-
drilled mounting holes for the DeWalt model 625 and
621 routers. To mount the router to the plate, start by
installing a centering or pointed bit in the router chuck.
Then turn the router upside down and install the pro-
vided 6mm washer-head cap screws in the mounting
holes snugly, but not tight.

Turn the router right-side up and set it on a piece
of white paper and turn on the laser cross hairs. Plunge
the centering bit and see if the center point aligns with
the laser cross hairs. Because the mounting holes allow
some play, you can make minor adjustments to bring
the point of the centering bit in line with the crosshairs.
When the alignment is good, carefully turn the router
upside down and tighten down the mounting screws.

Attaching other model routers to the router plate
will depend on the alignment of the mounting screw
holes. If the hole pattern won’t interfere with the laser
and LED circuits, you can drill mounting holes directly
in the router plate. If you plan to dedicate the router
for use with the Router Boss, you can use the included
high-bond tape strips to permanently mount the router
directly to the plate. CAUTION: If you try to remove
the router, you could damage the router plate and/or
your router’s base plate.

We also have a transition (adapter) plate available
that can be custom-fit to your router and that then at-
taches to our router plate using the existing holes for
the DeWalt router. You’ll need to notch the transition
plate to fit around the wiring for the lasers and LEDs.
Loosely attach the transition plate to the router plate
with the washerhead screws, mark the location of the
wires, then use a round file to notch the BOTTOM of
the transition plate.
