I am using the same exact router as the spindle for my machine. Oh, these templates are going to be handy! You just saved me some work...

BTW - How do you like that router?

Nice looking machine,

I see you separated the two router mounts. I did the same on my first machine. I found it allowed a little flex. On my second machine, I basically glued them together and added a triangle support. This gives me more adjustment to move the router up and down, and a bit more strength, but I found that I can mount the router with a bit of a tilt, and takes a bit of fiddling to get it straight up and down.

Just thought I’d throw in my $.02 worth.
