I would like to install a router insert in place of the extension table. Has anyone done this?

I haven't but it sounds like a perfect solution to a space limited workshop. I've been unhappy with my current router placement and I think your question just provided me with an answer. The table saw fence could be used as the back fence of the router; perfect!

Not to my knowledge, But try looking at any woodworking tool stores /supply stores

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.

I think any of the models currently available would be adequate for router table use. My experience is with the older model that doesn't include the above table adjustment. The "below table" adjustment works fine, but is not ideal.

Router mounts with screws through the insert plate, which is drilled specifically for the triton router. I've not tried to use the quick tabs but I doubt this would be a good option.

Mr. Mark Bueler at Incra.com is THE MAN to ask that.I have dealt with him several times; he's listed on their website with email address etc.; Incra DOES HAVE a TEMPLATE for installation in a generic table top, as mine is a HOMEBUILT router table, I got the template.Hope this helps?

yes i use it in mine, kreg makes a pre-drilled router insert for this router, I tried drilling mine the first time but had issues just installed the predrilled and it took 5 minutes and everything is perfectly aligned

This is a universal fit item.If your router has a flat base plate it should work.You will need to find bolts that will work to bolt it to the table.

You do not install anything. You hit a button on the modem & then a button on the extender. It is very easy!

I mounted mine in my table saw. I removed one of the cast iron extension wings, got a piece of phenolic resin plywood and cut it to the size of the extension wing, routed it to accept the router plate and router, and mounted it where the old extension wing was. Works great and I have the option of using the fence from my table saw with it as well. I have run numerous sheets of plywood and MDF over it, as well as hard wood lumber, and have had no issues with it snagging or scarring material.

Hi there I just took out my insert plate yesterday. If you look in the manual there are two ways to mount the plate, one without the fine adjustment screws and another with adjustment screws. The latter needs an addtional product: Kreg PRS3040 Precision Router Table Insert Plate Levelers

I have the 1617EVSPK. It has mounting instructions in the router table assembly manual and it works as it said it would. The manual does not list mounting instructions for the 1615. I also own a RA1165 router base type S that my 1617 will work in that will attach to the RA1181 benchtop table. I don't know it that would be an options for you but worth checking.

I goggled "router table for Hitachi" and there is a lot of information there including how to build your own table. The router itself is outstanding, I use them in my CNC machine.

Yes, it comes with it, or did when I got mine. This is a great router and easy to install in a table.

Hello, No but you can easily drill your own holes. Just center the base-plate on your router, secure it with tape or clamps, mark where the holes of the router are onto the base, remove and drill holes. Then countersink the bottom side so that the screw heads fall below the surface. Thanks

Sure you can, but you will probably have to drill your own holes in the table plate, and possibly need to pick up different screws to fasten the router to the plate.

Yes this router can do that. The only addition part you absolutely need would be the plate. If he already has an insert plate then he's all set. If he doesn't then I recommend buying a steel or aluminum one which aren't that pricey. The advantage to buying one over making one would be that the aluminum plate will not sag under the weigh of the router.

No, it is not pre drilled for a specific router, if that is your question. You have to drill your own mounting holes.
