Router Mount

[wired]

I seem to recall seeing a really nice aluminum router mount for a porter cable 7518 that someone had made, ( I think it was the first job they did on their machine), If someone recalls this post can you please direct me to it. Thanks, John.

John, Were you able to do something with the code I sent you?

Jeff, I have a .375 collet on order for my router since all I have is .250 & .500. My router is now temporarily mounted with mounts I made out of oak so I can use it to make the aluminum ones. I did run your file with a v groove bit in wood just to see how it worked and it came out perfect. I'll let you know when I use it on the aluminum. Thanks again, John.

Jeff, here are some pics of my machine making the mounts with your g code. This is the first actual run done on the machine. Notice the "high tech" temporary oak mounts. I was surprised they held up as well as they did on the aluminum. Thanks again for the code. John

Hey John! That did work out great! I have already received an email from someone else, who read this post, wanting the code for them as well. I think when I find it I will post it here for all others who need it.

Without knowing the capability of his setup I chose a 3/8" end mill and had a step down of .050. I forgot to get the code over the weekend. If I forget again maybe Wired can post what I sent him. I will also try to remember when I get home tonight.

If you are able to locae the code for these mounts, I would be interested in having a go at them myself.. right now, I have a very shaky mount system, and would love to have one that actually looks good.. HAhahaha

btw.. thanks for offering them up!
