    Router Plate Arrived Today

    I ordered that Aluminum Router plate from Woodpecker's last week and it arrived today along with the Template I ordered and router bit. What a beautiful piece of equipment. Very heavy duty and pre-drilled for the Milwaukee 5625 Router. It also has leveling screws all around the edge. Very happy with this purchase.
    I want to create love in my woodworking with a love for woodworking.

    Congrats on your router plate. I initially bought the Rockler version. It served its purpose until I needed a bigger router (PC7518). I too bought a woodpecker router plate (the Quicklift). It is an fantastic plate. Very well made. I bought a top from them too.
    I keep the Rockler in my table saw extension for the times I need two set-ups (rail and stile).

    Gary, I'm a little late with this, but does your Woodpecker plate allow for above-the-table depth adjustment? I have a MW5616 and bought the plate that Woodpecker's sells for that machine, but there's no hole for the wrench to go through and I'm not sure if I can drill one without compromising the integrity of the plate.

    I Love Woodpecker...

    I have a woodpecker lift and have really loved it. I agree that they make quality products.

    Enjoy...

    I bought the TLR Phenolic Router Plate from Woodpeckers for my Triton router. I have been very happy with it. Most of their products seem to be really nice quality.

    Ken, the plate has a series of interchangeable centers. I don't have the router yet but it appears that it will be able to change above the table. I have been out of town and just returned today.

    Not to hijack your thread or anything but....

    Down the road somewhere, when you're ready for the next major upgrade, consider the sommerfeld aluminum table top and a Triton 3.25HP router.

    The difference is like going from a tricycle to a Harley.
