Here's how to cut a perfect circle with a router. Let's get after it. Start out by cutting a piece of wood that'll fit on your base plate like that. Take the four screws out of your base plate, take your base plate off, and throw it on your wood. Now, take a pen, pencil, whatever you got, and just mark your holes. Going to look something like that. Our four screw holes, and our one big one in the middle. Like get a drill bit roughly the size of your screws, and drill at your four corners.
