Router Plate Installation

Comments are always welcome...
If you have seen my previous video about my wooden table saw wing, you already know that I plan on using it as my router table. So the next step in the evolution is to install the router plate into the wooden table saw wing. There isn't a lot to it. I chose to build a frame, using the actual router bit as a template. Then, using the frame as a pattern, I used a flush trim router bit at the correct depth to cut out the recess for the router plate. All I needed for this application is a 3/8" shelf that is 1/4" below the surface of the table. I cut out the waste and cleaned everything up with a chisel. It ended up fitting great and now I am ready to build the router lift that will mount underneath. I hope you enjoy the video!

I used 1/8 th inch hard board with 0,020 FR4 laminated to form an eight inch round plate. ❤❤. Simple circular to route.

[@garryheinz6388]

how do you add the router to that insert?

[@SouthpawWorkshop]

You take the baseplate off of your router base and use the screw holes to attach to the underside of the router insert.

I juste bought the same... Did you install the other parts?

[@SouthpawWorkshop]

Which parts?

[@peterjazz8315]

Corner Snuggers, Leveling système hardware

[@SouthpawWorkshop]

I did use those, yes. Can’t remember if I documented it.

[@michaellovetere5122]

What's the plate made of????metal or phenolic???

[@SouthpawWorkshop]

Phenolic. Don’t buy it. It isn’t perfectly flat which has caused me issues.
