But I can not find easily what I want.
So.. I am thinking to but it now.

Thank you for your advices.

Hi Benny

I just don't get it, why would you want to have a "see through" plate, I can see it on a plunge router BUT on a router table why ,most of the work is done on the top of the table and all you want to see is the bit, you can buy many after market clear base plates to fit your router base that are flat and true.

If you want one that will not sag and that is flat and you can see through it, pickup some 1/2" plastic and make your own.
