You just can't beat this jig!

I was dying to try it on the day it arrived. For years I used my own home made appliances but have since lost them when my workshop turned into a laundry/storage room. Never mind, they were nowhere near as good as these! I had the perfect project I sketched out a few months ago - plywood sun visors for my van tires. But first I had to figure out what was in the box and where everything fit, so YouTube came to the rescue. Wow! That was great. My Porter-Cable 6902 router base fitted perfectly, as did the screws that came with it. I adjusted the radius to match the diameter of the tire, cut a semi-circle in each piece of plywood, and ended up with "tombstones" with the perfect width and arc for each tire. This lamp is installed quickly! And that's for sure. I like how the base of the router attaches to the base of the mount. There are so many screw holes for different makes and models of other routers, so I circled my holes with a permanent red marker so I don't have to look for them the next time I cut circles. If I had to criticize that it's difficult with this well-built mount, I'd recommend making the large round support bushing metal rather than plastic simply because the center screw can go through the floor over time. Also please add an extra center screw for the small circle gauge so I don't have to remove it from the rotary socket. I also wish they had offered a hard case for storage. The box comes he just doesn't want to!
