85 - Router Table, страница 5
Transparent Template Accurately positioning the screw holes when making a new router plate or router table insert is always a challenge. But I found way to eliminate any chance of error. I make a copy of my router plate on a transparency at the copy machine. It's easy to do. All you need is some transparency film for copiers and your router plate. After taking the baseplate off your router, lay it on the copier. Tlien load the transparency into the tray of the copy machine and make a copy of your router plate. Now, you can lay the film on the material. And since you can see through the film, it can be moved into just the right position for you to mark the hole locations. The template is durable so you can store it away for future use. Ted Pietrzak Auburn, California A ShopNotes Issue 85 Jan./Feb. 2006 PUBLISHER Donald B. Peschke EDITOR Terry J.
