Steps 1-4

It is recommended to assemble on OMIO Router Stand () or a sturdy work surface.

Box 1 Contents: Router Base, Stepper motors, Angle Extrusion

Box 2 Contents: X/Z axis Assembly, Spindle, Wire Harness, Control Box, Accessories

Step 1

Place the X/Z-axis assembly on the supports for the X/Z-axis that are attached to the Y-axis. Be sure to have the Z-axis facing the front of the machine. Align the bolt holes and loosely thread in all three large SHCS with lock washers and bronze washers (circled in green below). Then repeat this for the smaller SHCS (circled in yellow below). This should be done on both sides of the machine.

There are two different lengths of the smaller SHCS. The longer ones will be installed on the left side of the machine. These are used to mount the energy chain later.

Step 2

Be sure that all holes line up before tightening. Tighten all bolts on both sides of machine.

The bolts indicated in yellow in the previous step are also used to attach the mount to the energy chain. Leave left pair of these bolts loose as they will need to be removed in a future step.

Step 3

Remove the two pre-installed bolts from the left side of the machine.

Find the angle extrusion piece, energy chain support, with two pre-installed Phillips bolts. Attach this piece of angle extrusion to the frame of the machine using the two screws that were just removed. The holes in the extrusion should line up with the holes in the frame.

Step 4

Remove the two pre-installed bolts from one side of the machine.

Using the remaining angle extrusion pieces, attach one piece of angle extrusion to the frame of the machine with the vertical leg towards the outside of the machine using the two screws that were just removed. The holes in the extrusion should line up with the holes in the frame. Repeat this step on the other side of the machine as well.

These extrusion pieces act as covers for the linear guides and to help catch any chips or dust from the machine.
