In any case, I now have a great plate I can't use.
Anyone have an idea where I can get an aluminum insert plate drilled for the ft3000vce, above the table adjustment holes and all? Also, it would be nice to find one that would actually allow me to pull it out with the router. Even if the Woodpecker plate did fit, the handles of the ft3000 would be just about flush with the edges of the plate.
Also, I asked Woodpecker to verify this plate would work before they shipped it.
Moan, groan, complain, etc. Sorry. |
The FT2000E and FT2200E do not have above table features. The three mounting holes are the same between the FT2000E, FT2200E and FT3000VCE but as you noted the above table access holes are only used with the FT3000VCE so they will likely not be drilled in a plate intended for one of the others. I can provide you with a template to locate the other two holes if you like. Also, the handles of the FT3000VCE are pretty wide and on Freud router tables you tilt the router to install and remove it. You could also remove one of the handles (but obviously not the one with the switch) to make this easier.
