Greetings and salutations All,
I recently started routing using a number of different routers. I wanted to try my hand at "free routing" letters and numbers and realized pretty quick that I suck at it. I watched a number of videos using numerous different letter and number templates. I liked what Rockler had, so I purchased a couple of kits and a bit to use with my Freud FT2200 plundge Router I had recevied as a gift many years ago. The kits came in yesterday so out to the workshop I went only to realize that the unopen Freud router was missing some important parts.
I'm terrified that if I'm able to find (quite a bit of doubt there) buy the adapter plate (FT1100) it will not be the right size for the Rockler guide bushings recommended for use with their letter and number templates...
Here's my questions...Is there a universal base the I can install on the Freud that will accept the Rockler guide bushings? Will the Freud FT2020 work with the Rockler letter and number Templates. Do I really need a centering pin?
I normally don't rush off and buy things willy nilly! And I'm kicking myself now as I can see this getting expensive and still being unable to use the Freud with the Rockler Templates. So I'm going to blame Covid or maybe even Donald Trump for my impulsiveness. I figure what the heck everyone else does!
Just trying to be funny...
