Router Base Plate Templates

[brian fithian]

i am making a circle cutting jig, edge guide and fluting jig. I am trying to find out where i can get paper or electronic diagrams ( base dimensions and screw dimensions ) so i can include as many different plunge routers as possible. Not having much luck contacting the different router manufacturers. A photocopy or scan of the baseplate will work too. I would sure appreciate any help.

Simplest way would to buy a universal base plate, and then use transfer punches to to mark hole locations on new base plates. Try to get hold of Hylton's "Router Magic." He shows how to make custom base plates.
