Ok, so the router plate and the white top plastic material are the exact same thickness?

I assume you can cut it with a table saw?

HI Steve

Yes it cuts like wood in a way, but it's stringy stuff when you cut it..

I broke a good 3/8" carb.bit off with that stuff ,made one pass and went back for one more and it locked the bit right up and snap it right off....had to find the TP chop chop.....

Bob, would this work:

1. Buy a sheet of 3/8 inch uhmw. Get a decent size.

2. Mount the router directly to the UHMW sheet.

3. Mount the UHMW to a peice of 3/4 inch plywood or MDF.

4. Cut out a hole in the plywood or MDF so the router hangs clear of it.

I would like a router that is completey flaw for a Katie or Gifkins jig and this would seem to ensure it.

Thoughts?

Hi Steve

That would work great but I would not glue it down to the MDF, just use 4 flat head Allen screw and some tee-nuts to hold the top in place and then get one more UMHW panel and cut a a hole for a standard mounting plate 9 x 12 so can use the table for other routing jobs as well...
