Aldi router table - router mounting question.

there may

Yes the table has four clipping clamps and clip onto the base and bolted down. To be honest that table is worth the £25 so if the router you have doesn't fit tae the router back and find another router to fit as the table is worth having and can be incorperated into a large table top or piece of kitchen worktop.

My router is out of warrenty now so what I did was dismantled the casing and fitted a normal on off switch in place of the soft start switch.

As its permanent in the table I needed to bypass the safety button on top of the router arm so that I could use the on/off button on the table.

Cable tie is seems to be the recommended way - at least it was by a seller of tables and routers at the last wood workers show I was at ! They were cursing the EC too.

Thanks both.

Bought one of the last two with sealed boxes. I found the assembly instructions hard going and did most of it by looking at the pictures. Finished up with one unknown part and nowhere obvious to put it. Black hard plastic with threaded insert. About 1" diameter and 1/2" thick. Pics:-

Isnt that the joint fence locking knob? there a fence that protrudes out of the main fence basically it looks like a draw that will be the locking knob

the plastic part is to replace a similar part on the aldi router when mounted in the table - if you are using a non aldi router you won't need it.

Many thanks Tim - mystery solved!
