January 12, 20188 yr While building a new router wing for my tablesaw, I realized I used a template for my old router plate.....,perfect. Whelp, I ain’t getting those two hours back!
January 12, 20188 yr Your gonna have to have some long arms to use that. How far past the end of the picture does it go?
January 12, 20188 yr Author Just looks long b/c I didn’t Cut the miter track dado yet. Same distance in front of the bit as a Rockler router table. But I don’t have to worry about that stupid miter track cuz I gotta a toss the thing!
January 12, 20188 yr That side never gets used anyway. Your fence should cover it up. If it were mine I would leave it to remind myself to check all measurements and sizes before cutting anything....
January 12, 20188 yr Well Bummer Dane...fit really nice on three sides Don't cha' just hate Mondays on both sides of the weekend? At least you're able to do something in your shop; got me beat.

January 13, 20188 yr I'd be reaching for the Bondo. As Jesse said, the fence will cover it anyway. Edited January 13, 20188 yr by Gene Howe

At least you're able to do something in your shop; got me beat. I had a woodpecker router plate and it’s like inch and three-quarter longer than rockler one. I made a jig for the old router saw wing -and use that on this new wing. Too bad plates are standardized ......
January 13, 20188 yr Popular Post Good you can laugh at the mistake Dane and even better share it here. Glad you joined us...spreads the misery around so it's not my turn as often. Most folks wouldn't share their mistakes with others. Says a lot about your character. I get excited when I can share something other than my "duh" moments.
January 13, 20188 yr If it was me ,I would use the old plate as a template and mark out a piece to patch in the mistake and fill in the space.. Herb
January 13, 20188 yr Author Popular Post Hey thanks man. Mistakes like this are even funnier when you use a jig....to prevent mistakes...like this.
January 13, 20188 yr Fill the space with a stick that doubles as a push stick or at least looks as though it could be used for that.
January 15, 20188 yr Author Popular Post I found an old plate that fit perfect. Sometimes ya luck out
October 3, 20196 yr Band saw out an arrow showing the way your router turns and epoxy it in your slot....
October 3, 20196 yr Don’t feel bad. Shop gives approval to make a saw table for a Powermatic 66. Spend two days with a helper making a flat long term saw table to only hear on a couple weeks we have decided to get you a sawstop................................
