What are the dimensions of the router insert plate if I wanted to use another brand of plate, will others fit?

You're welcome. I've had this over a month now and I've been using it almost daily. It's a great complement to my other router table which I constructed myself years ago.

It is 8 1/4 X 11 3/4.. That is the norm for the majority of plates. I also have a Freud table and that's 9 x 12..

Emilo: I am not sure it would fit, but even if it did, it would scare me to use it, I wouldrather use a router table for a bit that large. Hope this helps

I just measured this with a dial caliper, the Template Guide measures 2.435" on the shoulder and 2.667" on the outer rim, a clean snug fit on both our old Makita 3621 Routers and our newer RP0900 Routers, another respondent reported nearly identical dimensions, so unless your dimension is misprinted, this will not fit your machine. This Plate also fit the old Makita 3612 Router, which had the same recess in the baseplate to receive it. I have not seen a Makita Router with a threaded receiver. We use either Porter-Cable or Templaco Bushings with this plate, and have had no problem with either brand, they both fit this adapter well.

Yep, I own that very model of router. You just have to swap out the plastic plate on it currently with the circular one that comes with the router table. You just need a phillips screwdriver to swap out the plates.

Will they fit, absolutely. Depending on the project, you may want to consider a bigger router and as filtersmith noted below, if you play your cards right every job will require a new tool.

I don't have that router, but as I remember, when I ordered the router table, I had to order the plate separately, and had to order it according to the router I was going to use, to insure it had the proper hole pattern. So when I mounted the table and the router to the router plate, everthing fit. I would suggest you check Bench Dog's specs on it to be sure it is listed as compatible with your router.

Hello Jerry, The plate is 6 1/2" in dia. I use it on a Sears 315-175170. I am not sure of the differences between the two routers. Hope this helps.

Although I could be wrong, I will say no. I have. Couple router tables and they use full size routers. I'm sure you could make your own adapter plate and fit this one. But the router tables I on are designed for and bolt directly to a full size router. Also, this router is small, it takes 1/4" bits, great for quick hand routing, not so good for a router table.

I am not quite sure what you identify as the "plate." If you mean what the lift columns are attached to, and what your router lifts up through, then the answer is yes. If however you are referring to any plate beyond this, then no.

The plate is not pre drill. It comes with template and set of intruction on how to drill the correct holes for your type of router. On Kreg tools webpage they have lots of intructional video for their products. http://www.kregtool.com/media.html and under most popular watch Custom Insert Plate Drilling Program

Yes, I use that router with this table. The table comes with the correct plate to attach the router

only if the Router Attachment will take the standard stepped 1 3/16 guide insert (30.17mm)

The guide is a standard size and will certainly fit your router. Be advised that of you use it on hard wood (e.g. rosewood) the bit can flex and damage the guide.

Bench Dog has various plates geared to different routers. Check them out and buy the correct plate for your use

Any regular size router will work. the small hand held routers or extra large commercial grade routers will not. The tray that the router sits in is very accommodating and the butterfly nuts tighten clamps along a slot to allow a great amount of flexibility when mounting a router.It would be easier to use a plunge router like Mark Mauldin recommends, but it is not a requirement.

Disregard my previous answer. I have the Skil Router and thought that is what I was answering the question about. Sorry about the mix up. I have no idea what size shank the B&D router takes but it should say in the description of the item.

I haven´t had the chance or the need to fit my router to any other base plate, but I can tell you that I had problems fitting a base plate that came with a brass bushing set (Riddgid brand)
