Kreg PRS3040 Precision Router Table Insert Plate Levelers

I sold my old Grizzly table saw and with it went to router table and storage cabinet. With my new table saw, I had to build another router table. I had my big Hitachi router fixed to a 1/2” plexiglass plate but no table. So I started building my fourth router table. In the past I would cut the hole in the table smaller than the plate, the rout a rabbit to fit the plate. Using various leveling techniques to get the plate perfectly level with the plate. Generally it’s a tedious, time consuming and frustrating task. I bought these corner adjustment gadgets that eliminated much of the frustration getting it level and the construction is simplified. Just trace the outline of the plate on your table. Drill a hole for your jig saw and saw close to the outline. Double sided tape stick straight boards to the outline and use a pattern bit to rout to the line. Clean up the corners and install these corners from the bottom. Drop your router and plate into the hole. It should fit perfectly and resting on eight adjustable set screws. Just use the set screws to level the plate with the table. Once you have it level you can then screw down the plate to the table to lock everything together. No shimming, taping or making your own screw adjustment system. For the price, I know that plate is level and if it ever need adjusting, it’s a simple turn of a screw.

I built my own router table and needed a better way to level my router plate. These under table levelers are built really well. They fit my table perfectly and provide a perfect adjustment. Others were priced higher but you can’t beat the value you get for the price of Kreg hardware.

Positives: Easy to install, they allow for an easier hole to be cut in a homemade table top, they lock the plate in firmlyNegatives: leveling the plate is a fussy procedure, you have to reach under the plate to get to the adjustment screws

This works very well with the Kreg router insert plate. These plate levelers simplify the process of building a shop made router table by eliminating the requirement of making a rabbit or ledge to rest the plate on. You can still use these with a rabbited opening but it is not required.

Finally able to match my router plate to the table...perfectly!

These router plate levelers made my router table build a breeze. Rather than having to cut a lip into my router table surface at exactly the correct height, you can simply cut all the way through. You then install these in each corner and the height adjustment screws allow you to dial everything in perfectly. It only took me about 5 minutes to get the router lift perfectly flush with the surface of the router table.

This system made installing a router plate on my new router table a cinch. Instead of having to leave corner wood supports to support the plate in my plywood base, I was able to remove the entire subsection under the plate making for an easy installation. I think I installed the leveling pins upside down as it seemed easier to turn the leveling screw from the top than from underneath the table to level the plate (removing and replacing the plate to fine tune it). It would be even easier if the studs they provide for this had an Allen head socket on each end. This way the levelers could be adjusted from the top and bottom. Instead, they only have the adjustability on one end of each stud leveler.There is enough reach for these levelers to work up to the 1 1/2" thickness of my base, but probably no more than that as the levelers would be too short.All in all they seem like a nice way to make a job easier.Hope this helps.

These are just outstanding. They are easy to install, easy to set up, easy to adjust and will work with any router plate. What's not to like I particularly like the fact that you don't have to use a rabbit for plate installation. Nothing bad to say about them. I will never mount a router plate without them again. I highly recommend.
