    Router Table fixings

    Mine is similar to John's set up, whereby I have a car bottle jack - as the vertical travel adjustment - underneath the router. I have made my own fixing plate from 2mm stainless steel plate , (kindly donated from work - they just don't know it yet!! :wink: ), and the fixing holes drilled and...
