- DO NOT attempt a route without the correct template guide.
- The provided items can be used with some Makita and Dewalt brand routers. Consider the Makita RF1101, Dewalt DW616 or Dewalt DW618PKB.
- While we recommend a router with a minimum 1.75 horsepower, 2.25 is preferred.
Custom Routing procedure
Procedure
- Place the routing template over the appropriate area and fasten into position with 3 screws. Be sure the screws do not interfere with the path of the router
- Ensure that the router bit and template guide are
properly installed, then proceed with the route - When complete, remove the template guide and use a 4″ grinder, Dremel or deburring tool to smooth the area for the tubing installation
- Use a shop vac to clear debris from the channel
- Place a piece of tubing into the new groove to confirm it sits level and flush with the top of the Warmboard panel
Check List
- Review all the tubing layout plans
- Use a permanent marker and the provided wood templates to mark all areas on the Warmboard panel that will require custom routing
- Prepare router with router bit, template guide and template guide lock nut
The router base needs room to operate and may be difficult to use near a wall – plan accordingly.
