New Product - "CMT Router Table with Large Insert"

The starting point this week is the mounting of this large PorterCable Router. It is the PC 7539 — a plunge router with 3 1/4hp and five speed and soft start. I know that it will only work in the table if I add a RouterRaiser lift mechanism to it. The RouterRaizer's instructions include this model in its specification sheet, so that is what I will do.
	I have installed the RouterRaizer a number of times, but all to the Hitachi M12V so I want to take my time and follow each step of the instructions exactly.
The first step is to remove the plunge lock handle.
	And then remove the bolt that is holding the spring. This spring puts tension on the lock lever so that it is normally closed. With the RouterRaizer, we want it to be held open or at least not spring closed. The kit comes with a replacement spring to be put in the original spring's place (inset).
The replacement spring is in place and I am ready to reinsert the plunge lock bolt. This is a reverse threaded bolt, and you do not want to tighten it too much — your plunge will always be locked. So, tighten it until the plunge is locked and then back the bolt out about 1/4 turn.
	Next, With the router partially plunged and locked, I remove the plunge guide.
Next, I release the plunge lock and pull the router body straight up — the plunge springs are released from the plunge columns. This step was easy — getting them back in will be the challenge.
	On the template page for this router, there is a small outline which I am cutting to size.
The tiny template fits the curved housing exactly. I am to drill a 1/2" hole at the mark. Using a 1/8" drill to start makes the drilling more accurate.
	I temporarily place the unit back on its base so I can hold the assembly level at the drill press. Drilling the hole is easy.
