Review on Rousseau 3509 9 Inch 12 Inch 8 Inch by Kenny Stephens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Some assembly required

As it stands, this router baseplate was perfect for what I was looking for. I added a router table extension to my table saw and needed something that would fit inside. The instructions were a little shaky at times, but I've seen enough YouTube videos to know how to mount the base plate on the table. That I wasn't prepared for it to be a human error. This panel requires someone to drill their own holes, and even using my router base as a template I still got everything misaligned multiple times. My ground plane now has a few extra holes, but I think they might come in handy if I ever buy a router that happens to place screw holes as badly as I can drill them. Drag the insert into the table as mine didn't seem tight enough and I was slightly misaligned with my cut. I've seen other reviews saying their plate is curved but mine is straight and strong. . Does everything it's supposed to, right down to pumping. Although I don't know why these things cost so much. It's not that they're advanced technology.

Pros
