Hi Dave , which Asian plate insert did you buy? Link?

Glad it helped out john. Good luck with it.

No problem Geoffrey, glad it helped

No problem John, hope it helps you out

Glad to hear that mate, thanks

Make a substitute base plate with a side arm then drill one or more centre holes at the correct distance to match the appropriate router bit.

@@markfryer9880 thanks for the tip!

my only problem now is how to apply this on my trimmer... maybe i'll just figure it out by myself hehehe.

Thank you for the sub Raul and Im glad you liked the video and found it helpful. Not sure about doing similar with a trim router though, good luck with that.

You've set yourself a challenge i think.

yeah... and that's because of you creations. Thanks for the ideas hahaha

Thanks mate.

No problem Geoffrey, glad it was helpful!

No problem, sharing is caring. Thanks mate 👍

No problem at all Brian. Thank you for your time to.

Thanks Gary and thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks for the tip mate

No problem, my pleasure

Thanks Stuart.

Thanks Mitchell

.

Thanks Jacob. Unfortunately I don’t have the router anymore so can’t tell you the size.

Good luck with it mate and get well soon.

Shane, I strongly considered doing the same and the reason I left them in was i just thought they would give more stability.

@@DownUnderWoodWorks I think from memory it was in the Triton router instructions(which I have in mine) that said to remove the springs. I've never had issues with stability. I guess it all comes down to how hard is it too wind up. Very cool mod anyway.

Thanks Jay. The answer to all your questions is yes, as far as I can remember. I don’t have the router anymore

Thank you very much 👍🏼

Cheers, thanks mate

No worries Mark. That router is similar to a Makita so hopefully it goes well for you. The Triton is great. Love it.

Hi Ali, i don't have any knowledge or experience with the Kreg insert plate but your problem sounds like it could be fixed by buying your own bigger longer bolts.

I was able to get the short cap head screw from the local hardware but thats all they had so thats why i had to extend it. you may get a longer one from a nut and bolt supplier.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately as you said i don't have the tools to make it. Yes the plunge springs are not necessary in a router table setup.

Hi Hector, the lift worked out well. I took out the plunge springs to put less pressure on that nut

Hi Igor, i think i had the same problem ( i don't have the router anymore). I took the plunge springs out because they're not needed, i think that helped a lot.

It wasn't too difficult at all Harry

.

The plate is 5mm aluminium and is 300mm square

Thanks Peter. I'm able to wind the collet nut right up to the plate and I use an open end spanner from above. Cheers mate.

Victor, that makes it incredibly useful. I have seen some spanners that are based on a tube with a hex head opening to go over the bolt. I am keen to try your implementation. The only problem is that it is a one-way trip to this conversion. Once the lift mechanism installed and set inside the table, that’s where it will remain. Mind you, you can pick up a second hand router for under a hundred bucks on Facebook or Gumtree and that is not a big problem. Cheers from South Australia.

Hi Geoffrey, unfortunately i don't have the router anymore. I got rid of it a long time ago. In any case i always use the lever lock whenever using a router, particularly in a table.

No worries mate, glad it was helpful. I ended up installing a small splitter (aluminium angle) on my own made insert plate. You should be able to see it in most of my videos

Thanks very much Kevin. That old router died a few months after the video. The triton is now in the table

@@DownUnderWoodWorks you have more patience than me, just today I finally made a jig to safely rout rebates in small circular pieces, I got fed up with my router flinging them across the room :0) amazing how easy we can make our work if we take the time to set it up properly.

.

Easiest way is to just make one.

The depth stop was that threaded screw that I removed and replaced with the longer cap head screw.

The spring pins on mine were hollow as well. They're easy enough to knock out and then reinstall.

@@DownUnderWoodWorks ah ok, thanks for the reply :)

Yeah, this router definitely looks just like a Makita. The aluminium plate is 300 x 300 and my router table is about 500 x 500 but you should make yours to suit yourself. The table dimensions aren't critical.

Yes mate, take out the springs, they're not needed. I left them in in the video but a viewer later commented that i should remove them, which i did, and it worked a lot better.

@@DownUnderWoodWorks tqvm

Haha, thanks very much mate. Enjoy your beer.

Thank you Peter. I bought it from Carbatec but just had a quick look and they don't seem to sell it anymore. Thats a bit crappy that Triton couldn't help you. You may have to go for a different brand.

DownUnderWoodWorks Thanks for your reply, enjoyed the shop tour 👍

.

If you're asking about the aluminium plate, its 300 x 300mm and 5mm thick

I did consider it John but left them in because I thought it would give the router more stability.

Yes it did Tom. When the bit was getting higher in the table i had to switch ends of the allen key

@@DownUnderWoodWorks I thought it would because I had the same problem on my porter cable. I searched every where looking for an allen wrench that was long enough on both ends but couldn't find one. So, to solve my problem I used two allen wrenches and a threaded barrel nut the same size as the allen wrench. I cut the small end off one of the allen wrenches to a comfortable length and pressed (actually hammered) the long end half way through the barrel nut and I pressed the short end of the other allen wrench into the other end of the barrel nut. I know I could swap ends on the allen wrench when raising and lowering the router but I find it easier to fine tune the height having the long end of the wrench in my hand. BTW...great work.

Haven't had the need for an extension yet and I have 5 routers.
