hey all
Just got my PRL and PC 7518 router out of the box they have been hiding in for the last 4 months. I am finally starting to build a table to go around them.
I went to assemble the 7518 to the PRL and per the instructions set the height (depth?) of the PRL to the 5-6" and then clamped in the router. So far so good. I notice that the PRL clamp has slots for the nubbies (keys ?) on the shaft of the router but when I mounted the router as per the instruction and per the pics on the instructions the nubbies were not within the grasp of the clamp-- they are between the clamp and the plate of the PRL
So now the question. The router is being held by the force of the clamp alone -- which seems good enough. Should I be overly concerned that the nubbies are not in the clamp ? Since I bought the 7518 for use only in a table I did not buy a base for it. Can I assume that the nubbies are similar to those on my 691 and that they are there for alignment more than anything ?
just curious -- hate to have the beast get loose on me
