This router plate is composed of 3/8" aluminum plate. It also has a scale engraved in the plate to assist in aligning the fence. It also consists of appropriate hardware to mount and to align the plate flat with the table top. Excellent product and value.

I bought this for my Bosch router (1617). It’s perfect. Not only did it fit but there’s even a hole for adjusting it so I don’t need to buy a lift. This is exactly the same size as the Kreg one but this one is way better since it’s pure metal (i believe aluminum?). There’s a template for it on Makerworld.com if you have a 3d printer which was also why i bought this one.The plate itself is very flat, and is stunning. It’s much thicker than the cheap plates you find on Amazon and it’s also bigger too.I only have two complaints but they’re extremely minor and I would 100% buy this again1) There are a lot of holes. It’s universal and you can plug most of them but there are still quite a few of them. Doesn’t bother me but I do wish they included plugs for them2) It comes with a bunch of bolts to secure it but it doesn’t come with nuts. I found that kind of weird but not a big deal.

Fit and finish on this is pretty good, but there are a few annoying things about it.First, the giant "O'SKOOL" branding on the top is obnoxious...not a big deal.Second, the leveling screws will need thread locker of some sort applied.Third, and by far the most problematic...when fitting the Dewalt 618 router to this plate, the holes fit the plunge base only. For whatever reason, the 618 plunge base has a 3 hole pattern, while the fixed base has a 4 hole pattern. This means that you can't just pop the motor out and use it with the plunge base on a project that can't use the table. It also takes away the fine adjustment ring that's used on the fixed base making it unreasonably hard to fine tune your cut. And finally, the bit will not adjust as high with the plunge base as it does with the fixed. I'll be drilling out new holes in the plate to fit the fixed base, but I really shouldn't have to.

I have a Benchdog router table and wanted to upgrade to a 9.25"x11.75" insert plate. After looking at several I chose this one because it has two options for either the Triton Routers or a Bosch Router lift. It also fits the standard 3 hole router configuration that Porta Cable established years ago. It came well packaged, and includes 5 accessory rings and a heavy duty wrench for swapping the rings. The plate is flat and well machined with lines indicating the center of the bit and increments on both sides of the center line. The anodizing was spot on. The only thing I wished they had included was a case for the rings. The only issue I saw when installing it, is the set screws are a little loose. I will probably add a little blue Loctite to the screws. Other than that it is a great router table insert. I would definitely buy another if the need arose.

Item is as described. It is robust enough that you can believe it will hold up a big router over the long term. I checked it for flatness and there is flat in all directions. The Bosch hole pattern fits my MR23 fixed base including a hole for the about table height adjustment.The only minor issue I can see is that the orientation of the holes has the handles of the base protruding beyond the edge of the short sides of the plate. I am going to have to angle things to get it in the hole. I may drill another height adjustment hole if another orientation works better.Update: got is installed and it all fits. The only bit off was that if you want the handle with the power switch at the front, the logo is upside down.

Great router plate, really, well made, looks and feels very solid, I didn’t give it a 5 star only because of the very poor router installation directions for any router, there are letters for the different router brand but installation instructions are non existent, so I will give it my very simple instruction that worked like charm once I figured it out! Align the above table depth adjustment screw to the identified hole for the 1617 Bosch brand, keeping it aligned, than slowly adjust the other holes with one another, super easy and a HUGE timesaver ! Hope the pics help! Cheers and happy new year to all!

I bought this to install in my table saw extension to add a new router. The price was high, but I thought I would give it a try.WOW, this thing is built like a tank. Sold aluminum plate with clean taped holes and a beautiful anodized finish. Comes with a bunch of plates, plate spanned wrench, mounting screws and adjusting screws.The hardest part is cutting the recessed hole for it to fit in. Once it was mounted. I installed my Bosch 1617 router. It fit perfectly and now I can use the fine adjustment from the top of the plate.Very impressed with O’Skool plate. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the O’Skool router lift system

I bought this to use with an older Ryobi router. The hole pattern in this plate isn't compatible with that particular router- I chose this because of the size, thickness, and apparent build quality knowing that a custom hole pattern would need to be drilled in.This seems like a cast plate. It drills and machines really easily, so drilling and counterboring your own hole pattern is really easy to do. That's a major plus. The existing unused holes are well-done and don't cause usability issues. I'm not worried about filling them.The bayonet attachment method for the inserts is nice and easy to use. The inserts themselves are just cast plastic, but they're not a concern.The only catch here is the price. This is a plate of aluminum with a lot of nice qualities and a good coating, but I feel like I overpaid for my use case, where I'm not really benefitting from much of the work that went into the thing.

My rating may change after I finish installing the R T insert. 5 stars go to Amazon for delivery, they said it would be 5 days….it was here in 3!! 5 stars go to O’SKOOL for their packaging. Perfect size, well made box with heavy Styrofoam insert cut to the exact size to hold the hefty aluminum plate and accessories. The plate appears to be well machined with smooth surfaces and my straight edge tells me it’s very close to perfect. The screw holes are an exact match for my Bosch 1617EVS. The price seemed a bit steep, but maybe that’s the price for perfection?!?! After reading my review, sounds like a 5 star product to me…..but I think I’ll still hold back until I’ve had time to finish my build and install it. the way I see it - Pat After building my router table, installing the O’SKOOL Router Table top and using it for the last 8 months or so, it definitely deserves Five Stars!! The leveling screws make it a breeze to set up in the routed out hole, then the nuts & bolts hold it snugly in place. The fence I made and the work pieces glide over the table flawlessly. It’s nice to be able to fine tune the height of the router from the top or the table. All in all, Money Well Spent!!,

I finally decided the old stand alone router table I built 25 years ago had seen better days and the laminate/MDF inserts I had made for it had begun to warp. I also decided it was taking up too much space in my shop, so opted to build a router set up into my table saw extension. Rather than build more inserts, I decided to go with a pre-made aluminum insert and this product seemed to fit the bill. It came very nicely packaged with everything well separated and the plate itself nicely protected during shipping. I made a router template to cut a perfect recessed hole for it, that came out great. A few threaded inserts later and the insert plate sits perfectly flush and dead flat in all directions. I had no problem with the threads and bolts - everything went together smoothly. The plastic center inserts seem solid and durable enough but only time will tell if they hold up. I suspect they will but I have several 3D printers and am pretty sure I could make my own replacements if I need to.Overall, I would highly recommend this insert plate, particularly for the price.
