Kreg Precision Router Table Insert Plate Levelers method
ATTENTION!
This method requires the purchase of Kreg Precision Router Table Plate Levelers from your Kreg dealer. These
levelers feature eight leveling screws that work with four lock-down screws to keep the insert plate flush with the router-table surface.

Precision Insert Plate Installation
1. To provide clearance for installing and removing the insert plate, adhere strips
of masking tape to all four edges of the plate. Then apply small pieces of double-
faced tape to one face. (Use just enough tape to keep the plate in place. Too
much tape will make the plate hard to remove later.) Position the insert plate on
your router table top, squaring the plate with the table, and firmly press it into
place.
2. Cut four ¾ x 3½ x 15½" scrapwood routing guides. Apply double-faced tape
and adhere the routing guides to the router table top with the edges against
the masking tape strips on the insert plate edges [ Drawing H ] . Remove the
plate. Chuck a 1½" Forstner bit into your drill press. With the edge of the bit just

cutting from corner hole to corner hole. For best results, support the inside edge
of the jigsaw base with a ¾"-thick scrapwood block.

4. Chuck a top-bearing pattern bit into your router. With the guide bearing
running against the routing guides, rout the edges of the opening [ Drawing J ] .
Stop routing where the ¾"-radius corners formed by the drilled holes meet the
routing guides. If the thickness of your router-table top is greater than the reach
of your pattern bit, switch to a bottom-bearing flush-trim bit, flip over the router-
table top, and finish the cut with the flush-trim bit guide bearing running against
the surface routed with the pattern bit. Remove the routing guides.

Install the Insert Plate
Rabbeted opening method
1. Attach the router base to the insert plate, using the screws that were used to
attach the sub-base to the router base. Depending on the thickness of your router
sub-base, it may be necessary to purchase longer screws. Make certain that
the screws are long enough to fully thread into the router base. For fixed-base
routers, install the motor unit in the router base and install the insert plate, with
router attached, in the table.
2. Drop the four lock-down screws through the countersunk holes in the insert
plate and thread them into the hex nut, wing nut or T-nut. Tighten the screws.
