The assembly is self-explanatory, as the parts all have only one place for which they were made. The upper nut for adjusting the height is best fixed with Loctite, then you can fit a ratchet with a 13 mm socket and adjust the height.

To mill out the wooden plate, use the "Cover plateM10.stl" and a flush milling cutter. Then use "TemplateTableInlet.stl" to mill an edge groove where the milling plate can then be inserted.

The linear shaft can then be inserted into the relatively narrow holes using the M8 screws. Should work well with PLA-CF or PETG-CF.

Printing instructions:

It is best to print with PLA-CF or PETG-CF and use 5-6 contours and 20-25% gyroid infill for the router holders to make everything nice and stable.

Print everything so that it lies flat and support is not required for any of the parts except a very small amount for the milling insert.
