Additional Rousseau 3509 9-Inch x 12-Inch x 3/8-Inch Deluxe Router Base Plate Information

Able to accommodate the heaviest routers, this thermoset 3/8-inch base plate measures 9 by 12 inches with a 1/4-by-1/2-inch lip, and allows mounting in 3/4-inch tops. Two rings snap out to accommodate larger router bits up to 3-3/4 inches with opening sizes of 1-1/4 (designed to fit template guides), 2-5/8, and 3-7/8 inches. The shoulder pin can be used in any of five locations for ease in starting freehand work. Also included are four corner Snuggers to remove excess play if the opening doesn't exactly match the base plate and to securely mount the plate to the top. The base plate is molded with a slight crown to ensure the center is the highest point.

 

What Customers Say About Rousseau 3509 9-Inch x 12-Inch x 3/8-Inch Deluxe Router Base Plate:

Works as described but I am still unsure if I like the convex shape to the top of this plate or if I would prefer a perfectly flat plate.

The material is a little hard to drill through for the router base but I like that the material is very stable. The locking system is a little on the whimpy side. The installation instructions are detailed enough to allow someone to install this anywhere. All the hardware is very good, no cheap junk. My only real complaint is that the rings are very hard to remove. I'm affraid I will break them someday trying to remove them.

Just for kicks I took it home and installed it on my router, and put it in my router table (the salesman was interested in the little experiment I wanted to try). I would not buy this plate. From the center to the edge the plate drooped at least 1/16th of an inch. I can't imagine this was designed this way. I checked it for flatness before I left the store, and it was flat. I returned the plate to the store where I purchased (not an online purchase) and got another one in exchange.

I had some problems with the test cuts because the plate was not flat.I typically do not right reviews for products unless I am not satisfied. I bought one, and it was not flat. It did not flatten the plate. Before I left the store I had the salesman check it for flatness, SAME PROBLEM. He opened a third, and it was also not flat. The store let me exchange the third plate for a different brand made out of aluminum.

Just want folks looking at this one to beware.

Last night I was hammering them out and the whole plate shattered. The crown in the plate is ok. I have used this plate for 2 years now and it stinks. Now looking at Rousseau's higher quality router lift I find that it has the exact same plastic top and the exact same snap in rings. I don't mind that, but the snap in rings are a bear. You have to use a hammer and hit it hard to snap them in and out. Being weird sized plate means I'm now going to have to re-build the top of my router table to accept a better quality router plate. Spend the extra cash and get an aluminum plate with quality snap in rings.

Indestructible & you can purchase replacement insert rings IF you need to. I have purchased three of these plates over the years & would not consider any other product. Comes with full easy to follow complete instructions. These will support any size or weight router including the 3 1/2 hp big boys. All of Rousseau products are high quality.
