Rockler Router Table Plates

[The Bear]

Anyone got one and know the radius of the external corners?
Going to be imperial I assume, these are them

Have emailed rockler but still waiting for a reply


Thanks

On their site it seem to suggest using a ½" router bit so I would assume the corners are a ½" radius.

I got that from here http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21429

Mmmm

Having tried to measure it myself (surprisingly difficult), I thought it was more like 3/8". I think 1/2" might be too big a radius :?:

I don't think that link is that clear. Are those bits 1/2" diameter which would be a more usual way of quoting the dimentions, or 1/2" radius as you are suggesting? Using any bit smaller than the actual radius will still work with their template as it follows the curve (eg if they are 1/4" diameter). I however need to make my own template so need the exact radius.

Still not convinced but do appreciate your suggestion and I had not seen that part of their website, cheers

Sorry you are right, if my assumption is correct it is a ½" diameter not Radius. ½" diameter is 6.4mm Radius I think.

Good luck

I thought many American plates were generally designed for using a 3/4 bit to route the hole. This would be an equivalent of a 3/8 radius - which I believe is what your guesstimate was.

If you print this out to scale http://www.rockler.com/tech/RTD10000687AA1.pdf you should be able to measure the rad.
