Is there a "set in stone" location for a starter pin in a router table base?

No, the ideal pin location is dependent on the size of the cutter and
the work. On shaper tables or manufactured router tables they take a
guess and generally put in two or three at roughly 2-3" distances from
the spindle at one or more locations. Generally, of course, you want
to feed into the cutter rotation and away from the initial end grain of
the work. Where the best feed point is is also dependent on the shape
being cut and the grain orientation.

No, but I like mine fairly close to the cutter for the work I do.

1. Close enough to the bit so that the stock you're working on can
contact both the pin and the bit's pilot bearing.

2. Far enough away from the bit so that the bit doesn't strike the pin.

HTH ;-)

Again? Don't quit your day job! :-)

Don't have a hole yet, just made my plate. That's why I was wondering. But I
will take you answer into consideration.

Nope, I made a series of holes in my plate to suit the particular project.
