ADJUSTMENTS
All of the components and features of
your new INCRA TWIN LINEAR have
been factory set and should require no
further attention. If, however, you wish
to adjust or recalibrate these
components, the following information
is provided to assist in performing the
adjustments.
NOTE
The INCRA TWINʼs base must be attached to the router
table with all eight mounting screws (see Fig. 3 on page 4.)
before adjusting the clamping pressure.
The INCRA TWIN LINEAR carriage
clamp was designed to make it easy
for the operator to adjust the clamping
pressure to his own individual
preferences using the supplied clamp
pad shims. Hereʼs how:
Unlock the carriage clamp. Remove
the small phillips head screw, washer,
and “L” shaped plastic clamp pad
retainer located just to the right of the
clamp (see Fig. 31). Leave the hex
nut in place in the T-slot below. Your
ownerʼs manual hardware pack
contains (3) .005 X
7
/
8
" x 4" clamp
pad shims. If you want to increase
the clamping pressure, add one of the
shims into the clamp pad slot shown
in Fig. 32. Check the clamping
pressure and adjust further as
necessary. The shims should be
placed to the left of the
1
/
8
" clamp pad
shown in Fig. 32 so that the clamp
always touches the
1
/
8
" pad, not the
shims. To decrease the clamping
pressure, remove one of the existing
thin shims. When you are satisfied
with the clamping pressure, replace
the plastic clamp pad retainer and
secure with the screw and washer.
The screw is long enough to start into
the hex nut without removing the nut
from the T-slot.
CAUTION: Whenever making
clamping pressure adjustments,
always make sure that
adequate pressure remains to
hold the carriage rigidly in
place when clamped in the fully
extended position.
