Cut Out the Recess for a Router Table Insert Plate Using an Acrylic Template by Wood Grain Junkie

Follow along as I demonstrate how to use the Wood Grain Junkie insert plate template to cut out the rabbet/recess on your router table. The large template will fit standard insert plates that measure 11.75"x9.25" regardless of brand. The small template will fit the 7"x7" Wood Grain Junkie insert plate, which accommodate trim routers specifically.

Awesome video! Been wanting to make a stand-alone router table for some time now! Will definitely be picking one of these up! Thanks Kevin!

Thank you for watching! Definitely let me know if you have any questions, happy to help.

Awesome video, and great product development and execution!!!! Like to see the video that also shows cutting out the center without using a plunge base as many building this probably will not have one.

Thank you for watching! That is a great point. I plan on making another router table--I may make another video and show that step instead. Thank you for the feedback.
