Another post about rectangular vs round router base plates contained a suggestion that the rectangular approach would also serve as a/the router table insert. Good idea, thought I. And, adding a router to my RAS/Miter Saw work table became a new "thought-stage" project.
I've actually done this before, but thought to ask here for ideas on how to cut the recess for the router plate (should I go the purchase route and buy a "professional plate/base and how to cut the base plate should I decide to build my own.
I was thinking of some sort of jig that would allow me to do both (cut the plate & the recess) so that the one fit precisely into the other.
I have seen articles on the task over the years, but have none bookmarked at the moment and the pile of woodworking magazines I've save are too deeply store for ready access.
So, if anyone happens to have a suggestion or a URL that would prove helpful, please response.
Thank you
