There are 3 different locations for the Button Head Screws
on the Vertical Track Fitting depending on the size of your

NOTE: The grooves on the Nylon Glides need to face the
direction of the Rods and your router base as shown in
Figure E-1.
6. Keeping all the screws loose, Attach the Router Adapter
assembly to your router base by sliding the Rods into the
holes of your router base. The Rods will have to be adjusted
left, right, up and down depending on your router.
7. Follow Section II to adjust and tighten all the screws.
Do not tighten
any of the screws
until Section II.

II. MOUNTING THE ROUTER ADAPTER TO YOUR ROUTER
1 . With both the socket head screws holding the horizontal fitting and the button head
screws holding the vertical fitting loose, slide the rods into the base of your router and slide
the router close to the Router Adapter. Ensure the vertical and horizontal fittings do not bind.
Tighten the knobs that secure the Rods into the base of your router.
Clamp your Clamp-N-Guide on a flat surface. Place your router on the same surface and
install the attached Router Adapter into the groove of the Clamp-N-Guide as shown in Fig.
G and G- 1 .
While pushing down on the Glide Track tighten the (2) Socket Head Screws.
2. Still keeping pressure on the Glide Track, tighten the (2) Button Head Screws.
Test the location of the of the horizontal and vertical track fittings by unlocking the base of
your router and sliding the base back and forth on the rods. They should not bind and the
Nylon Glides and Glide Track should remain seated in the Clamp-N-Guide. If they bind or lift
the Glide Track, loosen the socket head screws and button head screws and readjust.
NOTE: Depending on the size and brand of your router, you may need to use a different
threaded hole in the vertical track fitting.
NOTE: You may find it helpful to put a few pieces of paper under your router base while
adjusting the Router Adapter. This will lift the router up slightly, providing a tighter fit between
the Nylon Glides and the Clamp-N-Guide when the paper is removed.
For best results, keep router close to the Clamp-N-Guide.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of
injury keep hands away from moving
parts. Refer to your power tool manual
for proper setup and use.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of
injury, wear safety goggles or glasses

ROUTER COMPATIBILITY
This list is not intended to be
comprehensive! These are routers that we
have specifically tested for compatibility
and have listed their appropriate rod size
for your convenience. I f your router is not
on this list, you can determine in a few
minutes if the Clamp-N-Guide Router
Adapter is compatible.
1. Does your router have holes in the
base to accept a pair of guide rods?
2. Do the holes go completely through
the base?
3. Will the holes fit one of these sizes:
1/4" (6mm), 5/16" ( mm), 3/ " (9.5mm) or
25/64" (10mm)?
If the answer to all three questions is YES,
the Clamp-N-Guide Router Adapter will fit
your router.
MEASURING HOLE SIZE:
The surest way to get the correct-sized guide
rods is to measure the guide rods that came with
your router. If your router has guide rod holes, but
did not come with guide rods, you can measure
the holes with drill bits. Find the drill bit that will
freely pass through the guide rod holes without
binding. Order the guide rod size that is equal to
or slightly smaller than the drill bit.
