Veritas®Router Table Floor Stand
Introduction
The Veritas®Router Table Floor Stand has been designed as a free-standing router table workstation to work with
the existing Veritas Router Table Top and Router Table Stand. It is equipped with a pedal to connect with the
Veritas Bit Jack.
The floor stand offers ample storage area for large accessories such as the Veritas Pin Router Arm, as well as the
necessary router bits and tools that are required for typical router table work.

Veritas®Router Table Floor Stand
Parts and Hardware Assembly
The router table floor stand is assembled using our
patented tension-rod system, ensuring a solid, secure
assembly.
1. The first step is to install
the ribbed connector
nuts (Figure 2) as
shown and oriented in
Figures 3 through 6.
These nuts can be driven
into the appropriate holes
with a mallet or hammer.
If a hammer is used, we
recommend placing a scrap
piece of wood over the top of the nut to avoid
marring the parts with errant hammer blows.
Note: There is only one chance to install the ribbed
connector nuts correctly. Take care to ensure that
you are putting them into the correct holes and from
the correct face.

2. Start one (non-ribbed) connector nut on the end
of each of the ten threaded
tension rods.
3. Place the top panel top down
(underside facing up) on a
flat surface. Feed the free
end of two of the 331/2"long
rods through the left side
panel, across the dadoes in
the top panel, and into the
connector nuts in the right side panel. Ensure the
sides and top are aligned, particularly the 1/4"wide
dado for the back panel. Using the included 5mm
hex key, tighten the connector nuts so that the sides
will stay in place. There should be some flex in the
sides to allow the rest of the cabinet to go together
easily.
4. Slide the back panel into place. Ensure that it seats
into the dado in the top panel. There should be
enough flex in the sides to allow this. If not, loosen
the connector nuts slightly.
5. Put the bottom panel in place as shown (Figure 10).
Engage one end in the left panel dado. Align the
back panel with the dado in the bottom panel. Splay
the side panels out slightly so that the opposite end
of the bottom panel can fit into the right side panel
dado.

6. Screw the two knock-down connector pins to the
non-dadoed face of the interior panels as shown,
using the #6 × 1"flat-head screws provided.
7. Install the interior panels as shown. Engage the top
end of the interior panel with the dado in the top
panel. Swing the interior panels into the dado in
the bottom panel. There is enough flexibility in the
bottom panel to do this.
8. Install a third 331/2"long tension rod across the
back of the bottom panel.
9. Install the two front horizontal tension rods
(141/4"long).
10. Install the four vertical tension rods (183/8"long).
11. Install the front brace using the 51/2"long tension rod.
12. Tighten all connector nuts.

leveller feet so that the cabinet doesn’t wobble.
19. Install the hinge mounting plates on the inside of
the side panels.

21. Install the doors. The hinges may need to be
adjusted in order for the doors to be aligned
properly. Adjustments can be made as shown
below. Stick the included door bumpers onto the
corners of the doors as shown in Figure 20.
A Depth Adjustment: Loosen fixing screw A
(just one turn), adjust door to desired position,
retighten screw.
B Side Adjustment: Adjust screw B to desired
position ± 2mm (5/64").
C Height Adjustment: Loosen screw C, adjust
door to desired position, retighten screw.
22. Install four of the shelf supports in either the left or
the right compartment in the stand, at the desired
height. Place the shelf on the supports.
23. Center the router table stand (kit sold separately) on
the top of the floor stand. Secure the table stand to
the floor stand using the angle brackets and #8 × 3/4"
screws supplied with the router table stand.

24. Use the chain and spring included with the bit jack to
hook up the pedal. Adjust the chain so that the pedal is
located at a comfortable height for your foot and so that
the bit jack functions properly when the pedal bottoms
out on the floor.
25. Screw the knock-down clips to the front panel.
26. Install the front panel. Align the clips with the pins and
deal the panel a sharp hand blow.
This completes the assembly of the router table floor stand.
To reduce the possibility of chipping or splintering the
plywood edges, we recommend that all edges be broken
with sandpaper.
To maintain the appearance of your stand, we recommend
you apply a protective finish.
Note: The Veritas Router Fence is too long to fit inside the
stand. When not in use, it may be placed on the front ledge
where the router table stand meets the floor stand.
Options
Four extra shelf supports have been provided should you
wish to add another shelf. The shelf should be the same size
as the original (133/16"× 18") and may be added to either side
of the stand by installing the shelf supports in the predrilled
5mm holes. Should you require more shelf supports, they
are available separately (product #00S10.02).
Drawers could be added, using most drawer slides as well as
the Veritas Micro Drawer Slides/Sides (product #12K78.01
to .04). If using the micro drawer slides, we recommend
installing extra panels in the cabinet to accommodate the
required saw kerfs and to provide clearance for the hinges.
