INCRA Plates & Makita RP2300FC

最近添購了一塊INCRA Solid Aluminum MagnaLOCK RT Plates 的板子，

一塊 undrilled 的板！



不知版上是否有同好手上有，小弟目前正愁如何鑽孔安置倒裝我的 Makita RP2300FC 路達機！

向 INCRA 官網的 Sales 詢問，想當然是一長篇英文，有看沒有懂！＠＠

1. Center the router on the plate and draw a pencil line on the plate around the router's base. If the plastic sub base a smaller or medium-sized center hole, you can center it pretty accurately by simply removing the sub base from the router and moving it around so it’s centered over the Incra plate's 1" steel reducing ring.


2. If you haven’t already, remove the plastic sub base from the router and mark on it (with masking tape) the location of the handles, switches, plunge lock, variable speed dial, or any other features that might be important to access on the router after it's mounted. On large routers the handles should point toward the corner of the plate to clear the table opening.


3. Use double sided tape to adhere the sub base to the router plate in the correct orientation for handles, switches, etc. If you’re marking the bottom of the plate, the side of the sub base that’s normally against the lumber should be against the bottom of the router plate; if you’re marking the top of the plate, the side of the sub base that was against the routers base should be taped to the router plate (many routers have asymmetric bolt patterns).


4. Mark the hole locations with a self-centering drill bit (the kind with the spring-loaded metal sleeve around the bit - Vix bits or Snappy bits are common brands). Don't drill more than a reasonable dimple at this point. Without a self-centering bit, you can wrap tape around the bit to snug it up in the sub base's holes).


5. A drill press is the best choice for doing the drilling. Install a sharp, standard-style two-flute twist drill bit that’s 1/32” - 3/64” larger than the bolts' thread diameter.


6. Align the spinning bit over the drilled marks, shut off the drill press, and clamp the plate in this position.


7. Drill the hole at a slower speed (800rpm?) and feed with solid, steady pressure...you want the bit to pull up longer threads of aluminum instead of a shower of small chips with the bit chattering around in the hole.


8. You'll likely need longer bolts than what came with the router, as the plate is usually much thicker than the router's sub base. Use a multi-flute 82-degree (standard) countersink to get the tops of the bolt heads below the top surface of the plate, but don't countersink unnecessarily deep.


9. When you mount the router, start all the bolts and snug them in sequence instead of fully one at a time...if you're a little off, the error is spread across the entire bolt pattern with this method.
