I have opened this in a new thread because to upload the photo is easier.
This is the base of my router and I wish to fix it to a table top. Is there an easy simple way to do this? You may think i'm reapeating myself, well I am, I just wanted to show the base of my router (with the burn on the base)

Router Table Insert

• Heavy-duty plastic moulded router table insert
• 230mm x 305mm x 9.5mm thick
• May be recessed into virtually any type of top
• Slightly crowned to ensure no sag with router in position
• Supplied with securing screws, optional corner clamps, inserts and lead-in pinRouter Table Insert

A simple heavy-duty plastic moulded router table insert measuring 230 x 305 x 9.5mm thick with two inner removable rings (2.5/8" and 3.7/8" dia.) and a steel lead-in pin. A number of concentric rings marked on the underside of the plate simplify the job of locating the router prior to drilling the mounting holes. The table insert may be recessed into virtually any type of top and either fixed down with screws in each corner or just left loose. The latter option is probably best as it is then easier to make adjustments using levelling screws positioned in the rebate to ensure that the insert fits exactly flush to the surface of the table. The table insert is slightly crowned which ensures there is no sag with the router in position and that the table is always at its highest point as the cutter reaches the work for maximum accuracy. The inner insert ring has a register which accepts the range of 1.3/8" screwed guide bushes featured elsewhere in this section; these bushes can be used in conjunction with a template for copy and repetition work. Comes complete with securing screws, optional corner clamps, inserts and lead-in pin.
Also available is a template for routing out the recess for the 810175 insert plate. This is used in conjunction with a 1/2" diameter cutter and two guide bushes of 40mm and 20mm diameters. Review this product

I will add that the plate design is a Rousseau sold under license in the UK. In the US and Canada Rousseau mounting plates, templates and installation kits are available from Woodcraft and other woodworking stores.

That a great bit of advice. I feel because of the general consensis the router is better fixed on a table. no doubt ther are others who think differently, but with my limited knowledge I feel the fixed job is possibly the best for me for now. Thank you one and all for the benefit of your experience, particularly chippypah alias pete. greatly appreciated

It is my opinion that metal inserts are superior to plastic inserts, but if Allejo already has a plate, Unscrewing the plastic router base is the first step, the line up the holes in your mounting plate with those on the router and fix it to the router.

Next step is to place the router into a worktop with a hole and a suitably recessed mounting plate position. In my experience it is important to fix the plate to the table with fixings else it can and will move when something goes wrong
