O'SKOOL Precision Aluminum Router Table Insert Plate, Router Templates With Pre-Drilled Adapt to Multiple Routers of Different Model

Looks and feels good but spec diagram is misleading on the position for Dewalt DW618 fixed/plunge router. Holes (positions A) don’t align and I didn’t want to drill new ones on this nice plate I just bought because it said it was compatible on the spec. Had hit return but now I’m editing this review and moving it up to 4.9 rating after I contacted O’Skool and they showed me how this will fit my Dewalt 618 router with photos/placement. Should’ve been on the spec for each supported router so we’re not lost with the lack of proper instruction or initial thoughts of drilling holes on this nice plate. Keeper.

My first plate was strong plastic. Real crap. Couldn't level and finally broke the corners. This aluminum plate is solid and leveled up as expected. The ring inserts are screw in and easy to remove and install with the tool provide. Lesson learned about buying cheap.

I have a Benchdog router table and wanted to upgrade to a 9.25"x11.75" insert plate. After looking at several I chose this one because it has two options for either the Triton Routers or a Bosch Router lift. It also fits the standard 3 hole router configuration that Porta Cable established years ago. It came well packaged, and includes 5 accessory rings and a heavy duty wrench for swapping the rings. The plate is flat and well machined with lines indicating the center of the bit and increments on both sides of the center line. The anodizing was spot on. The only thing I wished they had included was a case for the rings. The only issue I saw when installing it, is the set screws are a little loose. I will probably add a little blue Loctite to the screws. Other than that it is a great router table insert. I would definitely buy another if the need arose.

The plate was flat and straight. (most important) The inserts work as expected. The leveling screws did the job but are too easily turned after everything has been set. Some nylok screws would have been nice. RTV on the threads works to. The holes and counter bores for my Porter Cable 7539 router lined up perfectly but were too small. Opening the holes was easy but I don't have a counter bore for this. I purchased some button head cap screws because the head was low enough. Chucked them in a drill and ground the diameter to fit the counter bore. I think I spent more time thinking about how to do this than doing it. All said I'm not disappointed.

The plate seemed to be well made, but did not fit my particular router so I returned it without any issues.

Very good packing, and it's perfect for my use!

Very high quality. But doesn’t not suit my router.

I finally decided the old stand alone router table I built 25 years ago had seen better days and the laminate/MDF inserts I had made for it had begun to warp. I also decided it was taking up too much space in my shop, so opted to build a router set up into my table saw extension. Rather than build more inserts, I decided to go with a pre-made aluminum insert and this product seemed to fit the bill. It came very nicely packaged with everything well separated and the plate itself nicely protected during shipping. I made a router template to cut a perfect recessed hole for it, that came out great. A few threaded inserts later and the insert plate sits perfectly flush and dead flat in all directions. I had no problem with the threads and bolts - everything went together smoothly. The plastic center inserts seem solid and durable enough but only time will tell if they hold up. I suspect they will but I have several 3D printers and am pretty sure I could make my own replacements if I need to.Overall, I would highly recommend this insert plate, particularly for the price.
