When shaping small parts on the router table, the large center hole in the router-table mounting plate is problematic. To get around this, I drilled a small bit-clearance hole in a scrap piece (here I used 1/4" MDF) and temporarily affixed this "sub-plate" to the table with double-stick tape. 
This is shown setup with a 1/2" laminate-trimmer bit; I have used this setup to shape the small curved base for my rosewood rifle sight, and am currently using it on a new project to shape 4 tapered pieces of 1/4" MDF for a prototype for a Irish Uilleann Pipes "regulator" pipe that will have a "square" conical bore instead of the traditional "round" conical bore (which would require custom-made and expensive machined steel reamers for shaping).
Regards,
John |

I like it. Simple but very workable solution to common issue
