Router Forums - View Single Post - Vertical mounting of baseplate on router table

Hi:
I am new to woodworking (retired dentist) and the router forum as well.
I have built a router table designed by the "Router Lady" which was posted in her book. The table has a unique feature that allows mounting of the router vertically so that one can rout small pieces or ends of large pieces.
The drawback is the cost of the aluminum plate that is needed for the support of the router while postitioned on at a 90 degree angle to the table's base. I priced out the cost of a 1\4 inch x 6 inch x 15 inch aluminum plate at $70.00. This high cost sort of negates the DIY feature so I went with plywood. This seems to suffice-until my new Bosch router falls off. Please let me know if you are aware of a source of less expensive aluminum plates. Thanks.
Raybo.
