I made my last Plexiglass router plate yesterday... So now I need to buy a router plate, but what to get?
When I was at Rockler last week I checked out the router lift they had on display for my 690PC, I think it was this one:
The inserts that were in the aluminum plate right next to it did not sit flush to the top, not a lot but enough to catch a fingernail and also a piece of wood. I think it was this:
Anyone have either the phenolic or Al plates and had an issue with the inserts? Can they be filed or otherwise 'adjusted' to sit flush?
I don't necessarily need the lift but I want a decent plate with inserts that sit flush to the top. So is phenolic the way to go or anodized Al?
