Default Router Table -- securing drop in plate/router assembly?

soft start. No problem with the plate jumping. The only problem as
mentioned earlier was the vibration noise if not fastened down.


Perhaps a little bit of thin felt or flocking on the underside to prevent
that vibration?


I use a Bench Dog router table and it uses about 10 or 12 blunt tipped
screws to level the insert. If they are not all perfectly in contact with
the plate vibration can be quite loud. Felt or flocking would probably
simply wear through in a short time as the collective area that the plate
rests on is about 3/8 to 1/2 square inches, divided by the number of screws.
The 2 diagonally opposed hold down screws work well to stop most of the
vibration noise.
