I have inserts for both my router table and drill table with dust collection. And I was wondering if anyone had come up with sizes inbetween the 3 everyone supplies as sometimes they're either too big or too small.

How about just making your own.?

You have the tool to do it with (table saw and the router) they will do a great job with just a little care.
I make most of the ones I need out of .250" and .500" clear stock.

Have a good wekend

I place two side tape on a chuck and place the plastic to it. Then I turn the plate until I have the exact size of my router base. I make a number of them so that I can just plow through the plastic and have zero clearance. My plates are much better than Rockler and a a fraction of the price.

As the guys said, you can certainly make your own plates. I have bought a couple from JET for my use, as I like the hefty material they use. Have not had a problem with the way they fit. Either way.

Woody,

Do you have any pics of the process? I'm not sure I understand what you're doing to make them.

Thanks
