Hi TTG

"No need to pay for a Corvette when a Beetle does the job."


But you own the Corvette now

But just to add a note ,,,the router table mounting plate can be anything and what works best is a round mounting plate just a bit bigger than the router base plate ,say by 1/2" to 1" or so, it that way you don't need to cut the hole bigger the 1st time you want to use a big bit....

They are Cheap to make and it only takes 3 screws to switch them out when the need comes up..

here's link for a bit of show and tell ,, this is for a small Colt but it works for any router that you want to put in a router table...

Pie are square but router mounting plates don't need to be square

Relative to Bob's comment, when the day comes that I need to swing a bigger bit, I'll drill a bigger hole in the existing table and make a new table top with a small hole or design and fab a small insert ring to reduce the gaping big hole I just drilled.
