take a drop in router base. Bases are 1/2" plywood, fastened to the
router with screws, drop right in. Stay in place by the router weight,
don't even threaten to rise up.

Along the same lines, has anyone every noticed the plate jump when a 3+ hp
router has started up? (For those with older routers not having a soft
start?)

mine has an acrylic plate set flush in a particle board/melamine top.
the fit varies with temperature. part of the year it's pretty tight,
part of the year it's just a little loose. even when it's at it's
loosest I've never seen it move around at startup- the big freud, early
version, no soft start, single speed, about as much startup kick as any
router ever made.
