HI Guys
Just my 2 cents
Most of the RWS are dated in the 1998 ,that's 10 years ago

many things have change since that time ,, router lifts,routers that come with them built it, etc...many don't pop the router out of the table to install or adjust the bit,,,,it still works well and many have the Oak-Park setup...the routers don't lift out easy the norm and the plates stay in the pocket the norm...

once it's in place it's in place and once the fence is in place it's not going to jump out of the pocket

it's like a hinge pocket it's not the screws that take the load it the pocket they are in...the norm...the screws are just part of the holding device and a small part at that..
The router plate works the same way but because the fence is over the plate no screws are needed..the same thing is true when you have 15lbs. of router holding the plate down and in place, the pocket takes the load if you are using the router without a fence in place..
Many of the new plates come with Allen screws to adjust the plate to keep it level if the pocket is off just a little bit, some come with earth magnets for a base for the set screws and to help hold the base plate true in the pocket..
The CMT router table comes with a cross bars to hold the plate down but it's over kill item I think...

it also as one of the biggest router mounting plate on the market...
