Attach the Z-Bracket to the Router-Clamp using 3 x M8-Cap-Head-Bolt-8mm. (Please note in your kit these may be M8-Cap-Head-Bolt-10mm)
-
-
-
Insert 8 x M5-Button-Head-Bolt-12mm through the Z-Bracket.
-
Slightly thread a M5-Drop-In-Tee-Nut on to the end of each bolt.
-
-
-
Attach the Height-Reference-Tool to the bottom of Extrusion-D using 2 x M5-Button-Bolt-12mm and 2 x M5-Drop-In-Tee-Nuts.
-
-
-
Sit the Router-Mount-Assembly on top of the Height-Reference-Tool.
-
Fix the Router-Mount-Assembly to Extrusion-D.
-
Tighten the 8 x M5-Button-Head-Bolt-12mm inserted previously.
-

-
Insert the Router Head into the Router-Clamp and tighten the clamp using the M8-Cap-Head-Bolt-25mm.
-
For WorkBee Router Head/Katsu/Makita/Dewalt Routers position it with the collet flush with the bottom of the Z-Axis.
-
For Mafell/Kress/Festool Spindles position the body flat on the top of the Router-Clamp.

WorkBee Router Head/Katsu
-
The 65mm Dust-Shoe-Adaptor sits inside the Dust Shoe. The Dust Shoe is then clamped around the body of the Katsu/Makita Router.
-
Mafell
-
This should only be installed if you have a Dust Shoe.
-
Attach the 43mm Dust-Shoe-Adaptor to the underside of the Router-Clamp using 4 x M5-Button-Head-5mm Bolts.
-
The Dust Shoe clamps around the circular portion of the 43mm Dust-Shoe-Adaptor.

-
The collet must always be inserted into the nut before attaching it to the WorkBee Router Head or inserting an endmill.
-
Place the collet into the nut and then turn it upside down onto a hard surface.
-
Apply downward pressure to the rim of the nut until it clicks into the retaining ring on the nut.
-
To remove the collet apply a horizontal force to the collet until it clicks out of the retaining ring on the nut.
-
Use the wrench provided with the WorkBee Router Head to get more leverage as demonstrated in Image 2.
-
Push the collet out of the nut on the side which has been released from the retaining ring.
-
-
-
Mafell
-
Click the collet into the nut first, then insert the end mill fully.
-
Fix the collet with a maximum torque of 10-11Nm. Tighten the collet by hand, then a 1/8 turn with a spanner, this should be about right.
-
Keep the collet lubricated with a solid lubricant (e.g. Molykote P-40) or by lightly greasing.
-
Katsu
-
Push the collet into the shaft and then the nut over it. The end mill can then be inserted fully.
-
Only use the button on the side to hand tighten the collet. To fully tighten, use two spanners, a 13 spanner on the flat portion of the shaft, the included 22mm spanner on the collet nut.
