I've read a lot of threads talking about price being a main issue for not using granite for the table top. What if, it was given to you and the router plate hole cut out of it would also be at no charge? I'm going to use the Incra Ultra Lite on it and will probably clamp it down using the suggested 3/4 plywood base and clamps. Haven't thought much about having the need of a miter slot, will use the right angle attachment that slides on the fence.
I talked to the fabricator today and he cannot mill the step needed for the plate to sit on but can cut a close fit all the way through for the plate. What I was thinking was using wood to attach to the front & back of the cabinet running accross the bottom of the slab and up into the cutout to make a ledge for the router to sit on. I was thinking about using some type of appoxy between the wood & granite. I know it sounds confussing but to me it's clear as mud!:confused: The plate has leveling screws in the corners for the fine adjustments.
Is it worth the time & effort to spend trying to make this work?
