Placing the router base on the bottom of the plate, mark the plate through the hole we just drilled.

-Once marked, remove the router base, drill through the plate (from bottom to top) at the mark with a small (1/8") bit to make a pilot hole.
-Using the hole as a center, use a Forstner bit to make a clearance pocket deep enough for the connector bolt.
-Flipping the plate, re-drill the 1/8" pilot hole wide enough to pass the Allen wrench through the plate into the top of the connector bolt.

Before assembling, lubricate the flange of the connector bolt where it meets the base.
