Router Acrylic Universal Base Plate for O'SKOOL 6-1/2 Router

The universal router base plate is an ideal tool for freehand routing applications, offering precision and versatility. This convenient accessory can be used with a wide range of standard routers, as you can find the model of your router and the corresponding letter that accommodates the mounting hole pattern on the base plate.

Featuring a clear acrylic design, the base plate adds visibility, making it quick and easy to mount. It is equipped with a centering pin and assorted screw sizes to accommodate various template guide bushing variations, ensuring a secure and customized fit.

To use this router base plate, you'll need to prepare your router and the existing base plate, as well as any related hardware. The fastener package provided includes machine screws that match the threads in your router, so you can easily secure the base plate to your tool.

Refer to the chart on the product page to find the model of your router and the corresponding letter that represents the mounting hole pattern on the base plate drawing. Use a wax crayon or felt tip marker to mark the hole pattern on the base plate, ensuring a precise fit.

Ensure your router has a 1/4" collet installed, then place the universal base onto the router, lining up the marked mounting holes. Install the chosen machine screws, but do not tighten them just yet. Insert the enclosed alignment pin into the 1/4" collet until it almost contacts the guide bushing, then tighten the collet lightly onto the pin.

Carefully adjust the router depth so the pin makes contact with the alignment pin, and then tighten the machine screws. This process ensures a secure and accurate fit, allowing you to work with confidence on both straight and curved edges.

Maintenance is easy as well. Applying Carnauba wax to the base plate will reduce the risk of scratching, and if any scratches do occur, a careful use of a plastic polish can remove them.

Overall, this universal router base plate is an invaluable tool for woodworkers, adding precision and versatility to your freehand routing applications. Its clear acrylic design, customizable fit, and easy maintenance make it a must-have accessory for any workshop.
