I'll use this straight bit to cut the sides of the recess to their final dimensions. For a consistent cut, I'm making a spacer of the same width as the distance from the router sole to the bit's cutting edge. I then clamp a straight board against the spacer, which the router will follow. With the straight bit, I cut all four sides into a neat and precise opening, repeating the trick with the spacer and the straight guide board on the other three sides.
You want to err on the side of the opening being slightly too small than too large, since you can always make it bigger. With the opening defined, I will now use the rabbeting bit to cut the recess with a shallow pass.
This is to test the fit of the insert plate As you can see, the fit is a bit tight on the insert. I use a knife to mark the outline of the insert to see how much more I need to increase the opening size. Then I make the opening slightly larger using the same methods as before, and filing the corners where I need to sneak up on the fit.
Now the fit is pretty much perfect! Next I set the rabbeting bit's depth of cut to be slightly deeper than the thickness of the insert, and use it to route out the recess. Since the router lift comes with leveling screws, which screw in around the perimeter of the insert, they can raise the level of the insert plate to match the tabletop. I checked that the insert was sitting flat without rocking in the recess, and that it was also flush with the tabletop.
With no more need for the router base, I remove it and attach the motor body to the router lift. This is a simple matter, only needing to tighten one screw on the collar to hold the router in place.

I checked that the insert was sitting flat without rocking in the recess, and that it was also flush with the tabletop. The insert has two bumpers on the sides that bear on the sides of the recess, which I need to extend out a bit with a couple scraps. Next, I add some scrap pieces to the corners for reinforcement and also for the corner mounting screws. With no more need for the router base, I remove it and attach the motor body to the router lift.
This is a simple matter, only needing to tighten one screw on the collar to hold the router in place. I use a brad point bit the same size as the corner holes to mark the center of these holes. Then I screw in threaded inserts in each of the corners, and use machine screws to fasten the insert to the tabletop. Next in the process is making the switch box for the router itself. This switch will sit under the tabletop so that I can easily hit the OFF button with my leg if need be.
I covered something very similar to this already, this version just uses two back-to-back junction boxes with the wires passing between them. Posted November 23, Some options: 1.
Love to get some points of view on this. Link to post Share on other sites. ColinF Posted November 23, Leans 3 Posted November 23, Sounds like make an extension might be the way to go. Tom King Posted November 23, I have a cast iron router wing I'll sell you cheap if you ever get up this way.
