Step 3Drill through the base
Remove the depth adjustment rod to disassemble the router. Mark the other side of the depth adjustment socket to drill a 1/4" hole for the connector bolt.
(It may be easier to drill from top to bottom through the socket. Start with a bit just small enough to fit the socket and make a divot in the bottom, then re-drill with a 1/4" bit through the base.)
Countersink this side of the hole (as seen where the drill bit is) to match the shoulder of the connector bolt.

Just what I've been looking for! Great instructable!The head of my connector bolt just happened to be the exact same diameter as the depth adjustment socket so couldn't countersink. I used a spade bit to trim the socket down a bit then grinded smooth and flat with a Dremel tool so it would fit under the base. Have to be careful and slow so that the trimming is even and level. Info could be just a teensy bit clearer on what's to be lubed and what's to be locktite-d. Also had to use JB Weld as the nails didn't cut it. Great job!
