All this information can be found in different places around the forum. But I had a need to make one today. And since the question of where to get one still comes up a lot. I decided to take some pics along the way and post it where its easy to find. Plus I know Harry likes lots of pictures. A couple of notes,, The sub base I made was to be a duplicate of the origanal. If your making a square or teardrop shape, you can skip the flush trimming part. Also since this was for a plunge router it was easy to create a center hole by plunging thru the blank sub base. If yours is a fixed base, you can install a poi nted bit or dowel, adjust it against the sub, mark the outside and drill. Forgot to mention the material I used. Its 1/4" thick scratch resistant polycarbonate (scraps from work)

Really COOL procedure Rusty and very nicely presented! You might note, that it would be very simple to make a square / rectangled base also... if desired. Yes, I agree, this thread should be STICKIED and saved somewhere. Thank you, Rusty... Good JOB!! | |||

Wow! Great instructions and photos. I scratched my head all weekend trying to figure this out. You must be telepathic! Your demo makes it so simple I really feel stupid now.
