What happens here

Once the plywood jig plate has all the necessary holes drilled, it's time to attach it to the router. Align the holes in the wooden jig with the corresponding screw holes on the router. Use the original four screws that were removed in step 1, and the cordless drill/driver, to securely fasten the wooden jig plate onto the router, replacing the original plastic base plate.

Goal: Secure the custom wooden jig plate to the router

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill/Driver Milwaukee — Driving screws to secure the jig plate
  • DeWalt Plunge Router DeWalt — The router to which the jig is attached
  • Screws — Securing the wooden jig plate to the router
  • Plywood Jig Plate — The custom wooden jig plate

What they say

Hide

Now, up your bit size. Get a little bit bigger bit so the head is countersunk in the piece of wood. Only drill about halfway. Mark the center of your hole, take a hole saw bit, and punch right through it. There you go. Fasten this piece of wood onto your router. So, now we want to measure the center of our circle out to the end, which is our radius, 6 in. So, make sure our blade is at the biggest possible place it could be, and measure 6 in out
