John Heisz - I Build It | Trim Router Basics - Start Here @JohnHeisz | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 days ago
To get the most out of your trim router, a new base plate that's bigger is a great place to start. It's also very handy to make it so that it's centered perfectly on the bit, and I show how to do that easily in this video.
I'm using 1/4" thick clear plastic, but you could also make it from plywood or even metal. You might want to find a different (safer) method to cut the outer diameter if you are making it from metal, though.
This base replaces the other base plate I made last year that was rectangular. Overall, a perfectly round and centered base plate is the most versatile.
