Like others, I also purchased Rockler hardware in order to build my own router table. With material I have on hand plus Rocklers hardware I can build a nice router table at half the cost, or more, of a factory built table.

In building my own router table I was concerned on the cut out for the router plate. I ordered a Rockler plate and the template and it worked great.

I'm building my own router table and came across this template. I read the reviews and was kind of leary about purchasing it, but thought I'd take a chance. To my delight, it worked perfect and the router plate fit snug. I don't know why it got 2 bad reviews.

I bought this product a while ago along with the aluminum router plate.
While the router plate is excellent, this template is not.
I was expecting a very snug fit, but when I took the router plate and dropped it in the template for a quick check, there was more than 1/16th inch play on BOTH sides. Since I wanted a very snug fit (isn't it why we buy that thing anyway?) I had to line the inside of the template with multiple layers of masking tape to get it right.
I bought the template to save time but it ended up costing me more that what it's worth.

No instructions. I have not used the part as of yet but it looks to be fine.

I purchased this product & a router lifter. I built my own router top and wanted to be assured it would fit properly. I read the post that the template would result in a loose fitting router plate but thought I could remedy this the same way stated previously. Not so! The router lift corner radius was not the same as the template & it took several attempts with drum sanders in the drill press to make the template close. End result poor product.
