Installation Guide:
These Universal Mounting Plates simplify the process of attaching table legs. Here's a general guide on how to use them (we also have a full YouTube Video HERE showing the process):
-
First, you would position the Universal Mounting Plates at the top of each leg where you want to attach it to the tabletop.
-
Next, using the pre-drilled holes in the Universal Mounting Plates as guides, mark your hole locations and then drill holes into the table legs and insert the threaded inserts (either M5 or M6 depending on the size of your bolts).
-
Then, align the Universal Mounting Plates (now attached to the table legs) with the underside of the tabletop. Once your legs are in the position you are happy with, trace the location with a pencil. Using the Mounting Plate Router Template can help you ensure accurate alignment.
- Then remove the wooden leg and attach your acrylic Mounting Plate Router Template to the bottom of the table top aligning the inside cutout on the template with the pencil lines. Once aligned and secured to the underside of the table with Template Tape (2 sided tape), you are ready to use your router to create the pocket that will receive the Universal Mounting Plate for a flush install.
- Once you are finished routing your pocket, you can mark the locations of your bolt heads that are holding the Universal mounting Plates on the legs. We use either a router or a forstner bit to create a pocket to receive the bolt heads for a flush fit.
-
Finally, secure the legs to the tabletop by inserting the bolts through the holes in the Universal Mounting Plates and threading them into the inserts in the tabletop.
