I made out a mounting plate of that white plastic cutting board. Yesterday I cut it in shape and attached to the accessory table. The next picture shows the router mounted in the table with the white mounting plate + black router base on. The last one shows the same setup without the router base plate (only the mounting plate is used). If I remove the base plate from the router I can raise the bit a little higher, but also remove the dust collector channel that is attached to the plate inside and connects to the dust collector port on the base. Is it OK to remove the base plate and leave the motor exposed to dust?
Shouldn’t I be able to raise the bit fully above the table surface as the second picture shows above? I understand it is not necessary for round over but what if I want to include part of the vertical cutters in the design? How does it work in your table?
(There is no plastic protection on the bit)
EDIT: Larry, you totally understand my problem. Agent511 still doesn't get it. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe these pictures will help.
