I am designing a table that will hold two routers. The top will be 1 1/2" thick either MDF or plywood. I plan to mount the routers using Jessem aluminum rings which use aluminum twist loc inserts. The outside rings are 5 3/4" in diameter. The router screws will sit in the countersinked holes of the rings and will be flush with the table top. The screws will go through 3/8" of top and screw into the router bases.
The top will be 32" long and 24" wide. The rings will be mounted 10" from each end and will be 12" deep. Jessem uses these rings with their phenolic tops. My question is whether or not these rings will work with a plywood or MDF top?
Primary use of the table will be for cabinet making. I will be using a CMT matched set of tongue and groove bits. The routers will be a Porter Cable 892 and a Triton 3 1/4 HP. I have a new house and need to make a kitchen full of cabinets and drawers.
