My florida garage shop is not air conditioned. The plate in my router table top is very difficilt to remove because of wood swelling. This is a commercial router table top which is probably MDF sandwiched between plastic coating for outside. What to do? First thought is to use rubber mallet to gently remove plate. Then build a template of the plate opening.
Finally select a mortise bit w top roller and re-route the opening.......what do you pros think of this approach?
I'm also getting some rust on tools in drawers.........anything I can put in drawers to minimize this? Wax prevents rust on table sawand other exposed iron or steel worksurfaces.
