How does it Work?
1. The diameter of the
finished access hole will be
250mm. Carefully mark the
centre point of the circle, if
possible positioning the access
hatch between the floor joists.
Screw the Routabout jig to
the floor, using a single No 8
screw at the centre point to
act as a pivot.
2. With the guide bush and cutter fitted to the router, place the router onto
the jig, locating the guide bush in its seating. The Tungsten Carbide Tipped cutter
is stepped to produce a groove within a wider groove. The depth is
automatically set to either 18mm or 22mm by a guide bearing attached to the
cutter body, this prevents the cutter from going any deeper (missing those pipes
and cables!). Rotate the router around the centre screw in a clockwise
direction, cutting to the full depth in a series of shallow steps until the cutter
breaks through.
What will I Need?
3. When cut, the waste piece is
supported by the wings of the jig.
The stepped cutter automatically cuts
a rebated edge on the waste piece as
well as around the edge of the hole.
Fit the plastic insert ring into the
access hole and turn the waste piece
over. Drop it into the ring and it will
lie flush with the floor surface. No
nails, no screws, just a neat job with
the minimum of fuss. IP
