How to Use Wood Routers : How to Make a Base Plate for a Router

[BrushCountryJamboree]

Make the larger base plate from 1/2" bc grade plywood and drill out the holes w/ a Self Centering Hinge Drill Bit to get your inital hole centered then re-drill it to the actual hole size needed according to a tap and die chart

This video will be helpful, because I've had the router tip over (many times) and damaging the work. thanks

i have had this problem before and will try this method, thanks for the vid i dnt kno why i didnt think of this before, i lost many templates due to the router leaning and cutting the template

[EDTHEROOF]

have always been scared of using my router but your videos give me confidence thanks.

attach it how?

Because you made it completely square, its not going to make any difference at all. The distribution of weight is the same. You could have made it bigger on the table side.

this is fucking stupid. to prevent dipping into your work get some experience and skill. it is fairly simple to push harder on the side of the board than the side that isn't. and if you are completely retarded use a router table

[briankuzma]

i think this is for retarded folks with no money for a routing table...i think its a great alternative...perhaps think outside the box a little.

Kevin, great vid. but bad sound..TURN IT UP BRO!!!!

[lordvad3r]

@dragonlee1bfed iv got headphones on and it sounds normal, may just be good headphones tho lol

[peanutbutterhaircut]

I want a precsion flat base

[herbfellows]

Good idea as far as it goes. Downside is that you can't see the work. 3/8" clear plexi would probably be better?

[drummerlars]

good idea

thanks
