| Registered User New Member |  Table Mounting Freud 3000 I am considering buying a Freud FT3000VCE 3 1/4 HP Router. I want to table mount this router a certain portion of the time so I was considering buying an 1/4'' Machined Aluminum Router Table Plate for my router table since this is a heavier router. I am looking at Rockler for a plate and they do not seem to have one specifically for this model of router. They do however have a plate that fits the Freud FT1700 router. I am sure the answer is probably no but does anyone know if the 3000 would have the same hole layout as the 1700? The other option is to buy a generic undrilled plate. Has anyone done this and if yes, is it pretty easy to machine the plate? Thanks for any input. |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi woodman59 The bolt pattern for the 1700 and the 3000 are not the same,buy the blank and drill it out to fit your router,, Here's a link to the templates for both below.. http://www.routerforums.com/freud/ just a as a side note, I don't recommend the Alum.plates but that's up to you...  I do recommend the 3/8" thick phenolic resin plates for most of the big routers.. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94331 ******* ******* http://wealdentool.com/acatalog/tips_20.html ========= Quote:

| Registered User New Member | Hi BobJ3, I'm thinking about purchasing the same router, (Freud FT3000VCE 3-1/4 HP Variable Speed Plunge Router) and I was intending to make my own router table mounting plate, and table. I found a piece of 1/2" thick lexan to use as my mounting plate... in your opinion would this be a good idea? Thank you, Bridge |
