I've been in the construction industry for over 35 years. I consider myself a woodworker also not just the building industry. I must say this is got to be the most comprehensive sub base video I have seen yet... Great job. I can't wait to learn what you have for ideas on Dust collection. Greg

Absolutely must have one of those variable centre punches, that’s awesome!

Very excellent thanks for sharing such great and comprehensive video . keep on mister woodworker :-)

I didn't know about that centering punch. Thanks!

Excellent. Love your videos and like to see you work. Very precise and high quality.

Thank you for such an excellent educational video about a very common problem, router base plates that are not uniformly round and not centered. I just bought a brand new router and expected the base plate to be near perfect but is several thousands off. Your very thorough, step by step, explanation of how to make a "perfect" base plate, including the tools and methods will enable me to replicate the process... Again, great video, Larry

After having that same Makita router with the regular base for ~5 years, I finally ordered a second one that came with the plunge base (because it barely cost more than buying the plunge base by itself) and my god it's wonderful.

Got the same guide bushings and no sub base for it. Tnx. This video is exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent Demo.

This is fantastic. Thank you!

Another good video! Thank you!

Gracias por su trabajo y explicación.

Nicely done! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

just seen your video, and i must say it is very helpfull. I need to make a couple of those. Still have to find the video on making one without the original base plate.

Excellent well explained vid ty

Beautiful

Very clever and informative. I want to do this but I measured a P-C bushing and the larger diameter is 1-3/8" which is common but the smaller diameter is 1-3/16" which is not common. Can you share the Forstner bit sizes you used? - thanks

thanks for sharing your excellent methods I'm ready to make my base for the Triton TRA 001, instead of buying an expensive kit, especially that I already have those brass bushings for my DeWalt trim router.

Very nice video! Also very useful to me since I own an (almost) identical router and intended to get a bushing set but was not sure if it will fit my plunge base.

Very useful

Thanks for sharing that!

Perfect Cosmas, and I have that router!

Very well done

Google expanding transfer punch for the centering punch. A lot of router base plates are made of a Phenolic resin, it resists warping. Some great tips here. 6:58 is a great idea & gave me a new way to make pattern circles.

Great idea, well executed. I have a set of those brass guide bushings that just don't fit well in my router base as well, I'll have to keep this project in mind! Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Awesome

Super

did you ever make the video on finding the screw holes for the base?

👍Well done. Thanks for the method. Curious of the tolerances you achieved with this method. If super precise, your method will work exceptionally well with a dado jig guide.

Can you please let me know what size forstner cutters you used. I am having dificulty finding that information.

Very good video and thanks for sharing do you have a link to the punch you used.

Tip: Polycarbonate is much better than acrylic! It is not so brittle and does not break as easily as acrylic glass.

Audience, What guide bushing set do you recommend that would be precise and last a lifetime for a DIRer but not too expensive?

I tried to make one of these for my router and it...didn't go well. I just have the Makita handheld. I need to get the plunge base and one of those bearing kits. Then I can follow your instructions and try again.

What size were the forstner bits?

wait, you have a german channel too?

Looking forward to the missing sub base video. My router is missing its sub base, and building my own like this will be a lot cheaper than buying a replacement piece.

👍🏻

Can you send me a link where you found that center hole punch

Rose oil massage- LOL

anyone know where i can find that center punch???

Give a tipp wher to buy this centering punch.

👍👍

Why didn't you mention about the size forstner bit exchange so that the bushings can fit flush to the sub base? Also noticed you didn't drill all the way through with the first forstner bit.That's a very important thing you didn't mention...

👍👌✋.

Guys. Buy a caliper and check your bushings diameters! Duh!

BE AWARE!!! if you buy a router that's having this type twist bushing (like the one this video), the bushing guides will get un-tightened very fast awhile you're using your router. It'll get vibrate alot. One of my bushing and the bit was cross between both, ...and a piece of my bushing was lodged into my face like 100 mph. I would had lost one of my eyes. I will never buy anything again using this type"twist" bushing-guides. I recommend buy another brand or something that does NOT use twist with bushing.
