Hope this help!

Another approach would be to make a transparent template using the router
base itself, then attach the transparent template to the base you want to
drill. This was detailed in ShopNotes #85, Jan/Feb 2006 pp 5

How would the transparent base be any better for the purpose than the
router base itself?

I think the idea is that you can paste the tranparency to whatever you
are planning to mill and leave it attached during the milling process --
that way you avoid accidentally milling the real base. Disadvantage: the
real base provides you with a drill guide to assure your holes are
accurately aligned.

Not necessarily advocating so much as pointing out another method.
