Hello Dave (and everyone else here.) ;-) ( Just got home form work.) I used a slightly different method for mounting my router all so many years ago. Like Roger I cut out a plate the same size as my Legacy's carriage base plate., but I used Plexiglas glass for the template, I first marked the center of the plate, Then I placed the Plexiglas. over the bottom of the router plastic plate and marked the glass, and then I drilled my holes in the Plexiglas. all that I need to do was center the Plexiglas plate onto the alum. then drill through the alum... (one note, I missed up on my first attempt, I did not mark the p. plate top, bottom, front... When I fist tried i flipped the plate over, or something, because two holes did not match up... So live and learn, Attachen to details sometimes matter.) ;-) On the good side, if you make a mistake, No One else is going to ever know, (that is unless you tell them.) ;-)

Every thing is now centred and all you have to do is drill the three holes, WARNING make sure DeWalt fits in the router mounting plate with out fowling any other parts. This solution is known to work and I still have the template blank in my workshop as DeWalt 625 and Trend T-9 are very popular in Europe. This was not my idea but of one of my customers who is now a good friend as he bought enough product from me, well that’s what he reckons.
