very new to this very dangerous tool--have about 1/2 hour use with it and
did 1000 hours of damage!!

I have to route out a 3/8" deep grove apx 4" by 18 "

problem I am having is after the first few inches the router is now only
resting on 1/2 the platform and it rocks forward and does n asty things--i
hve larned that you have tto set up guides with this thingh

is ther some sort of attachment that would fit on the base of the router
that would act like a footing and is adjustible so i dont have to keep
foolin with placing guides?


Simple way is to replace the router's sub base with a piece of ply
that's big enough to span the hole. Use the sub base to mark the hole
locations for the screws to attach it.
