System Requirements
The RS1000 Pro plugs into a standard 110v, 15-amp
receptacle for power. We strongly recommend using an
outlet with surge suppression.
The RS1000 Pro comes with a standard router plate
measuring 9-11⁄4”4” x 11 33⁄4”4” x 33⁄8”8” thick. It also comes with a
set of plate levelers that allow you to precisely level the
plate with your router table surface. The Plate fits most
standard router table cutouts. Your router table must
have a flat and stable top. This helps ensure accuracy for
consistent routing operations. Additionally, the top must
accommodate a ⅜”-thick router table insert plate mea-
suring 9-¼” x 11-¾” (235mm x 298mm). Finally, check
to make sure there is enough space below the table
to accommodate the RS1000 Pro router lift with router
installed. The lift will fit most standard sized 3-11⁄22” body
routers.
The RS1000 Pro fence replaces your router table’s fence.
Install the RS1000 Pro lift so the center of the router bit
is 12” from the rear of the table. This provides 6” of fence
travel (plus about ¼” clearance). The RS1000 Pro fence
mounts to the router table with bolts, nuts, and washers
into holes you drill through the tabletop. To attain the
full 12” of fence travel, a 6” shop-built table extension
must be added to the back of the typical table. A deeper
custom table top can also be an option to achieve the
maximum fence travel.
