Description

If you are making your own table and you want an easy way to make a perfect cut-out for a router plate or lift, including AUKTools, Woodpeckers, INCRA or JessEm, the AUKTools Router Insert Plate Template and Steel Insert Pad is the perfect combination. With this template and insert, you can rout out a perfectly sized 9-1/4" (235mm) x 11-3/4" (298mm) opening using a template router bit with a bearing on the shank (not supplied) and then lay the insert into the opening for an accurate flat surface for your router plate to reference.

Machined from 18mm MDF (400mm x 560mm) for a perfectly smooth bearing surface and large enough for clamps.

The AUKTools Stainless Steel Insert Pad is a 1.8mm thick insert that is suitable for use with 9-1/4" (235mm) X 11-3/4" (298mm) router plates or lifts, including AUKTools, INCRA, JessEm and Woodpeckers.

Quality router plates and lifts incorporate levelling screws to set the plate flush within router table tops but if the levelling screws are in contact with the MDF core these can eat into the MDF or wearing in overtime as the router vibrates. The AUKTools stainless steel insert plate overcomes these issues providing and flat and durable base to your router plate.

Like a breeze...

Positioning, marking, sawing, replacing, clamping, routing.
That was it. Like a breeze.

Works well but at a price.

No complaints about the quality of the the guide and insert at all and makes the job easy and accurate. My only issue is the price - just can’t see why it costs so much - another way of making big profits at the customer’s expense.

Saves making one yourself

It is easier to have a decent template to cut out the aperture for a router plate.

I loved this

This AUKTools Router Insert Plate Template was perfect, A simple bit of measuring and the job was done. Also, the added piece of mdf that I placed in the centre stopped my router from tipping as it was working on a totally flat surface. The gap between the insert plate template and the centrepiece of mdf was perfect to route out then a simple hole drilled on the inside four corners left a simple cut with the jigsaw. I loved this.

Turned a fiddly job into a straight foreword one.

If you are fitting one of the listed router lift / plates to a workbench this template is a no brainier. Turned a fiddly job into a straight foreward one.

This is an awesome jig and frankly a no brainier when you want precision. Why waste your time trying to come up with your own... I can’t recommend enough. A simple straight router bit and bearing - job done. Thanks to the wood workers workshop for excellent service as usual

Insert plate

Exactly as described. Also no need for guide bush so just requires straight cut router bit with top bearing.

Template

I bought this template with a router lift it worked perfectly with a 16mm bit and the router lift dropped into our custom table with zero tolerance save a lot of time and is well worth the money.
