Router Forums - View Single Post - Circular Saw and router guide "Off-set" plate

Good day

I would like to share with you some ideas that made my life easier.

The first is, the CS guide, nothing new here except that I used "Floor panels", already covered with Formica and if they give 15 years guaranty for walking on them...
They come in two lengths, 50" and 100" (I use the 50").

I use the other side of the guide as a router 10mm (3/8") bit guide.

The measuring and positioning method is a little bit different but I find it more accurate.

Regards

If you have 2 or 3 CS's, you can use just a simple straight edge, all you have to make is an "Off-set" plate(s) for each of them.
It's better to cut the Off-set plate into 2 (each around 4" or more) to position one at each end of a long board.

You can make the same "Off-set" plate also for different router bits.
