    Question Installing a Rousseau router table insert

    I have a Rousseau router table insert & in reading the instructions it tells how to use the pattern to route out for the insert but I don't see instructions to make provision for the insert levelers. The levelers hang down further than the bottom of the rabbit that the plate sets in.

    The only way I can see to do this is to use the plunge router & plunge some deeper areas where the levelers will contact the top. Does this sound like it will work or what the manufacture had in mind?
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    I also just purchased this router plate. There are very clear instructions how to instal the levelers. If you have not received a response, I will post the instructions later after I go to my workshop.

    Bart -

    I bought mine several years ago "pre-leveler". I just routed the rabbet the the opening. My my leveling system is real high tech - A piece or two of masking tape. Doesn't have to be just at the corners either, it can go all the way around.

    I'm sure Stefan or someone will hook you up with instructions for the levelers.

    Thanks guys

    I guess we should have waited until we were not so tired to read the instructions. What was clear as mud last night is very easy to understand now.
