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!

Well that sucks!

Your gonna have to have some long arms to use that. How far past the end of the picture does it go?

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! 

I'm laughing with ya Dane, not at you! I feel yer pain!

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....

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.

cast the filler and epoxy for a finish...

once mixed up some rock hard using lacquer...

that was interesting...

wonder what a urethane would do....

I'd be reaching for the Bondo. As Jesse said, the fence will cover it anyway.

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 ......

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.

 

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..

Hey thanks man. Mistakes like this are even funnier when you use a jig....to prevent mistakes...like this. 

Fill the space with a stick that doubles as a push stick or at least looks as though it could be used for that.

Flip it over and try it again?

I found an old plate that  fit perfect. Sometimes ya luck out

It does, doesn't it?

Band saw out an arrow showing the way your router turns and epoxy it in your slot.... 

Hey where has @Dane Franco been, miss him too around here!

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................................
