Review on 🔧 PRS3040 Precision Router Table Insert Plate Levelers - Medium Size by Bob Taylor

I am building my own router table and have decided to use this method of supporting and leveling the router plate on my table. The traditional method of supporting a milling insert is to create a crease (basically a lip) around the insert hole. The problem is that this is a great place to collect dust that is difficult to remove and requires regular cleaning. Also, it's quite impractical to cut the rack to the exact depth you want. This element bypasses everything. By creating a crease-free hole, any dust will simply fall into the slots. The plate rests on the adjustment lugs and a central thread holds the plate in the down position. The thickness of the top doesn't matter as only the end caps need to be adjusted up or down to be flush with the table top. Of course there should be one on every corner. I've thought about making my own version and I know some professional woodworkers on YouTube have done just that. In my case, I felt that the tolerances required were too tight and it would just be awkward to build one of these, let alone four. In a "standard" router table, the router is attached to a platen and the combined weight of the platen and router (possibly including the router jack) rests on these supports. I have to admit that I would probably have concerns about their ability to hold all the weight. The table I'm building will have a router lift attached to the underside of the table top, and the top will be large enough to accommodate different sized zero tolerance holes for the router bits. This means that it will not be a supporting element.
