Rabbet/Recess Cutout Template - For Your Router Table Insert Plate

Use this template to cut out the rabbet or recess on your router table to precisely fit your router table insert plate. This template has several rings to help cut the recess and fully cut the center section in two steps so your insert plate fits perfectly. It will fit standard size insert plates measuring 11.75" x 9.25", including the Wood Grain Junkie Router Table Insert Plate.

We realize making a large cutout on your newly built router table can be intimidating, but with our template you can easily make this cut stress-free. There are two steps to using our template:

1. Use the outer ring and center section to plunge cut the recess taking several passes.
2. Insert the second ring and plunge through to fully cut the center section. The thinnest ring is only used for alignment and provides a gap for your plunge bit on the second step. Just make sure to use double sided tape to hold down your template at every step.
