Yes I think I should look into doing something like that maybe with UHMW.

I saw the same router all beat up at a local second hand shop in the summer that had a broken base but was still functional wish I bought it now I would have cut the opening to accommodate the 3.5" raised panel bit. : (

Hi Dan

You may want to read the link b/4 you use the UHMW almost nothing will stick to it.

Thanks for the heads up.
It only makes sense that glue might not stick well on UHMW
I will go by the plastic shop in town & look around.

One other thought I just came up with last night trying to get to sleep is ordering a new base if it is not outrageously priced because I do have a stripped mounting hole for the base plate.
Then I could modify the base I have now & have a virgin base for when I need to use the OEM Makita guide bushings.

Hi Dan

I think I would stick with the plastic BUT hears one more ideal pickup some 1" thick plastic drill out the center hole and the mouting holes then drill out the holes for the plunge rods then just drill the holes for the roll pins drive them into place and your done without using any glue 1" x 9" x 9" acrylic plastic should work just fine for this one.
Also, I think I would pickup the item(s) below just in case you need to get the bit higher in the router table.

I kinda hate to say this guys but wouldn't it be quicker & easier to simply build a horizontal router table ? I built mine over a weekend & there are many useful machining functions in addition to using vertical panel raising bits. ie: as a jointer, sliding dovetails, morticing, to name a few.

Dan, now you know why so few members have only one router. I love flea markets and used tool stores.

This is how I will probably do it if I make one.
Another thing I thought of is ordering a new replacement base then I could modify the base I have now.
But there is still the Horizontal panel bit that will do fine until I buy a new router.\
I am thinking of the Bosch 3.25 HP Electronic Plunge Router model 1619EVS

Yup I know.
I am just getting back into woodworking after being away from it for along time.
Still trying to get my shop built.
So far still waiting for Geo-study that the city makes us do now after a house caved into an old mine shaft.
All I have so far is the plans have been drawn up for a 20'x36' 10' tall inside walls.
At this point I have to set things outside to do anything as I speak I have a Drill press standing behind me in my computer room among many other tools.
Our west coast weather does not give us many dry days during the winter.
Soon I keep telling myself.
Dan
