Hi rjb

Most do, here's show and tell how to do it

But if you also want to use the ears when you use the router as a plunge router you can put in a 1/2" to 3/4" spacer to drop the router base under the router table,the panel bits don't need to drop below the table top to far.

If you do decide to use template guides in the future, the small oak park plates take the larger template guides, and are available for only $20.

I personally like the larger guides (I got mine from lee valley).

Hope this helps
