Router Insert Plate

 G’day Folks,

Thanks for stopping by. To assist me to continue to make educational

videos for you guys, l would really like your support as it takes a lot of
time and money to make these videos possible. As a result, l’m offering
these plans for a measly $6.60 Australian dollars which is about the cost
of a coffee.

This generous, small donation will help keep the lights on over here at
DIY ROUTER DIY For Knuckleheads which will enable me to keep on making content

TABLE for you guys.

Many thanks in advance and good luck with your Router Table. You won’t
be disappointed!

Cheers,

Shane….. AKA, Uncle Knackers.

 Materials List:
Black Formply:
Metric: 2 @ 1200mm x 595mm x 17mm or in Imperial,
2 @ 4’ x 2’ x ¾”
If you can’t find the Black Formply, you can also use MDF or other good quality Formply.
Be careful during the selection process and select only straight sheets.
The Breakdown:
One sheet for the two sides and the top and
One sheet for the back, bottom, fence and the dust extraction
port.
 PLEASE NOTE:

To make things a little simpler, l have rounded up the numbers on the Imperial Plan to
suit, easy to read fractions. Because of this, the Imperial plans are slightly different to
the metric plans.
If they were exactly the same, the fractions would become very complicated. Because
of that, l haven’t included an Imperial Cutting List. Pleaser refer to the Imperial plans to
get those measurements.
Hope you understand.
Cheers.
