I'm building a router table, have my aluminum plate that will attach to my 3 HP router and then rest in the tabletop on a ledge. (I'm building Pat Warner's fence featured in Fine Woodworking Magazine and at his site:
I'm wondering if other tables have a design element where the plate is secured from moving upwards. From the various designs I have reviewed and the tables for sale I've seen in catalogs/online, I do not recall seeing anything that secures the router plate/route assembly to the table top.
For those who have router tables, is your plate assembly secured somehow to the table it is resting in to prevent the entire assembly from moving in an upward direction?
Seems to me an aggressive cut could cause the assembly to climb. Pat Warner's table design has his router bolted. Maybe I've missed something on these table inserts?
