PART 3: MILLING STEP 1
GO TO APPENDIX A FOR ROUTER ADAPTER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL NOTES ON MILLING -
READ ENTIRELY:
• The provided depth gauge hash marks
denote the maximum depth of cut per
pass. BEGINNERS AND THOSE SEEKING
MAXIMUM FINISH QUALITY SHOULD
MAKE MILLING PASSES AT LESS THAN
A FULL HASH MARK. Attempting to mill
to at depth increments higher than
recommended can cause damage to the
end mill and/or receiver.
• Ensure that your router base lock is
tight and functioning properly. If the
router depth moves while milling,
the end mill and/or receiver can be
damaged.
• If using a variable speed router, set to
the highest speed setting. Do not insert
or remove the end mill while the router is
spinning.
• Prior to turning the router on, ENSURE
THE END MILL IS CENTERED WITHIN THE
MILLING PILOT HOLE AND NOT CONTACTING
ANY PART OF THE RECEIVER.Hold rmly
and apply moderate downward pressure
when starting the router.
• While milling, move the router smoothly
and in a clockwise manner as shown in
the image. Keep the Router Adapter at
against the Guide Plate at all times. Avoid
abruptly pulling the router or exerting
excessive force. Slowly nibble away at
the receiver. If you begin to experience
chattering, slow down and/or take
shallower depths of cut. Apply WD-40 or
cutting uid liberally and remove chips
frequently.
3-1Install #1 (Short) Guide Pins to Router Adapter using (2) Guide Pin
Screws and 7/64” Allen Wrench. Open end of
pins should be facing up. Do not overtighten.
Make sure pins are fully seated.

508-834-4223 5DTACTICAL.COM

3-2Set end mill depth to the rst hash mark using Depth Gauge #1. Set
depth by holding the base of Router Adapter
against the edge of the Guide Plate. Be sure
Guide Pins are not between the Adapter
and Guide Plate. Make sure router depth
adjustment is locked after each depth setting.
3-3Orient Jig so the buffer extension is closest to the user. Place router
on Guide Plate, with the end mill centered
within the drill hole. The Guide Pins should be
positioned inside the #1 Guide Cavities on both
sides. Hold rmly, turn router on and mill using
consistent pressure and speed, moving in a
clockwise manner.
3-4Complete the rst pass of milling, allowing the Guide Pins to trace
the entire area of the Guide Cavities.
3-5Set end mill depth to the second hash mark. Mill second pass
following the same method and process as
outlined in steps 3-3 and 3-4.
3-6Continue milling in this manner, adjusting end mill depth 1 hash
mark per pass until you have milled to the
bottom of Depth Gauge #1. STOP Before
continuing to Depth Gauge #2, the #2
(Medium) Guide Pins must be installed.

following the same method and process.
4-5Continue milling, adjusting depth by 1 hash mark until you have
milled to the bottom of Depth Gauge #2. STOP
Before continuing to Depth Gauge #3, the #3
(Long) Guide Pins must be installed.

5-3Place router on Guide Plate, with the end mill centered within the drill
hole. The Guide Pins should be positioned inside
the #3 Guide Holes on both sides. Gently mill in a
clockwise manner until the trigger slot is formed.
SECTION 6: FINAL DRILLING
6-1Clamp Jig Assembly in the Vise by the edges of the side plates, with
the RIGHT Side Plate facing up. Ensure that the
assembly is level. Spray WD-40 into the large
Guide Hole and insert 3/8” drill bit. Do not start

FINAL PRODUCT
APPENDIX A –
ROUTER ADAPTER INSTALLATION
NOTE: Your ReadyMILL™ is custom
designed to t tightly inside the Router
Adapter Bearing. Prior to rst use, the tool
holder portion of the ReadyMILL™ may
require light oiling and/or cleaning with a
mildly abrasive scouring pad to ensure a
reliable slip-t. DO NOT SAND OR GRIND
YOUR ReadyMILL™. Do not force the
ReadyMILL™ into the bearing, or it may
become stuck.
The end mill cutting teeth are extremely
sharp, use the protective end mill cap
whenever handling the ReadyMILL™.
Remember to remove the end mill cap
prior to use. Use caution when removing
the end mill cap and wear gloves. Drilling
and cutting tools can shatter, remember to
always wear eye protection while operating
power tools.
Reference the chart on the next page for
specic instructions on how to install the
Router Adapter to your router model.
