Option 2: Remove the pivot plate from the jig by removing the  
three retaining screws. Remove the original router baseplate and place  
the router on top of the plate. Note the position of the router handles and  
other fittings. The router should be rotated until the handles and fittings  
will not interfere with the set plate when the router base is pivoted during  
use. The opening in the pivot plate should be centered on the router bit  
opening. If your router plate will accept a bushing, use the bushing to help  
you center the router on your pivot plate. Carefully mark the location of  
router mounting holes. Drill the mounting holes and countersink them so  
the screw heads are just below the bottom surface of the pivot plate.  
Reinstall the pivot plate into the jig and tighten all the screws. The pivot  
screw is secured with a special nylon lock nut. Tighten the screw firmly,  
then back off ¾ turn to allow smooth movement of the pivot plate.  
Use the original baseplate to  
mark the pivot plate.  
Setting dado width to match material  
To set the dado width, select the set plate that  
matches the diameter of the bit used. Select ¼  
from ¼ to ½ wide. Use a ⅜″ bit and set plate for dadoes  
from ⅜″ and larger.

Install the set plate and push the pivot plate against  
the left stop as shown; place a sample of the material  
between the straight portion of the pivot plate and the set  
plate. Press the set plate trapping the material between the  
pivot plate and the set plate.  
Insert a sample of the wood between the set plate  
and the pivot plate. Press gently and tighten the  
knobs snugly. Slide set plate left or right to adjust  
cut.  
Compensation for runout and adjusting fit.  
There is an additional adjustment that compensates for variation in routers, runout, and  
degree of desired fit. Set plates are adjustable left to right by a small amount. There is an arrow  
on the set plate. Moving the set plate in the direction of the arrow tightens the dado slightly. Moving  
it to the right loosens the cut. If your test dado is too tight, move the set plate to the right. If your  
dado is too loose, move the set plate to the left.  
NOTE: There is a reference slot in the base plate and a notch cut in each set plate to allow  
a visual reference of the setting. You may have to practice a couple of times, but you will soon get  
the hang of it!  
We recommend you make your initial cut with the set plate in the “tight” position.  
You can always make a small adjustment and make another pass if the dado is too narrow.  
Press the set plate against the material and tighten both thumbscrews snugly. Once set for a given  
thickness, all additional dados should be exactly the same width.  
ALWAYS TEST THE FIT IN A SCRAP OF WOOD TO ASSURE YOU HAVE PROPERLY  
ADJUSTED THE SET PLATE. SOME VARIATION CAN EXIST AND CORRECTIONS ARE EASILY  
MADE BY ADJUSTING THE LEFT TO RIGHT POSITION OF THE SET PLATE A SMALL AMOUNT TO  
GIVE A TIGHTER OR LOOSER FIT.
