Therein above, lies the reason the JDS Multi-Router, is an expensive,
well engineered piece of precision equipment ... and worth the price

Yeah, but... a home cruftsman can change a plywood plate to
a ZZZ-frame with a Forstner bit and a few quick kerfs...
and I bought the shocks for something similar years back,
they're still in the basement...
