ASSEMBLY
-
Place the Sled (1) on top of your workpiece with Router Guides ( 5) up.

Insert the tabs of the Sled (1) into the next highest Ski’s (2) slots and loosely attach with two Red Knobs and Washers. Repeat for the other Ski (2).
Figure A

Slide the assembly over your entire workpiece to ensure it does not bind anywhere. Tighten all Red Knobs.
INSTALLING THE SACRIFICIAL FENCE
-
With the five Fence mounting holes towards you, install the Fence Mounting Brackets (3) with the one marked “L” to the left using the 1 /4-20 Screws and KEP Nuts.

NOTE: For maximum overall cutting width, install Workpiece Edge Guide Supports in outermost holes.
-
Attach the Sacrificial Fence (4) to the Fence Mounting Brackets with the Fence Screws through the slots.
ALIGNING THE ROUTER
-
Install the Alignment Arbor into your router collet and adjust so that the bushing is below the router’s base. Secure the Alignment Ring ( 6) to the Arbor and adjust router depth so it is against the router’s base.
-
Using the Hex Wrench, loosen the bolts on Router Guides (5) and place your router with the Alignment Ring (6) in the center of the sled.
FIGURE C
-
Align Router Guides (5) to router base and tighten to Sled (1). Move router back and forth on Sled to ensure it is running freely, adjust Router Guides as necessary.
-
Remove Alignment Ring (6) and install router bit (Maximum Diameter 2″).
WORK HOLDING & WORKPIECE REQUIREMENTS
- The Benchtop Board Mill accepts workpieces with a minimum height of 3/4″ and a maximum height of 3″. When selecting the location of your workpiece on the table, consider the location and travel of the Benchtop Board Mill.
- Secure your workpiece to the table using clamp dogs, double sided tape, or similar. Ensure there will be no collision with the router bit.
ROUTER OPERATION
- Consult your router manufacturer’s recommendations and choose the correct RPM for the router bit.
- Unplug your router and set the depth of of your router bit to remove 1 /16″-1 /8″ from your workpiece. Multiple passes will yield the best results.
- After making a cut, ensure the router bit is clear of the work piece before advancing the sled. Advance the sled, guiding the Sacrificial Fence along the edge of the workpiece.
- Depending on your router base’s radius, the maximum width of the workpiece is around 15″ (based on 6″ router base and 1″ dia. cutter).
NOTE: The Benchtop Board Mill requires a minimum router base diameter of 4-7/8″.
