I have a Milwaulkee 5625-20 router. I tried to make a table insert
plate using Dupont's Corian faux marble product, but I have some
vibration, I think attributed to the home made plate.

I've resolved to buy a proper insert plate, before some accident
happens.

Is the Kreg PRS3030 the proper plate?... Claims to mount with any
router.

Incra MLP7518-AL is predrilled for Porter Cable routers, so I'm not
sure if this plate is appropriate for the Milwaulkee. I don't know if
this plate can be modified/drilled and I don't like the idea of having
to modify a plate.

I see some aluminum plates, online, but with their less expensive tag,
I'm not sure I want the cheaper Al plate.

I am supposing the Kreg is my best bet.

I have three of the aluminum plates from Rockwell. I use one for the same
Milwaukee router and the other two for Hitachi M12Vs. Never had a problem.

I'd suggest a call to the company that you are interested in and let them
decide if their plate is appropriate for you router.

In the old days all the routers fit the Universal plates except Freud. They
did have symmetrical mounting holes.

It should be easy enough to drill a commercial unit and mount the router on
it if one or more holes do not line up. Check you router for symmetrical
mounting hole pattern. Then the slotted holes should work.

I am not familiar with your particular router or this plate.

1. Kreg stuff is usually about twice as expensive as other like-kind
products.

2. Not sure of the Kreg price but Rockler has a sweet setup and lists
your specific router on one of the available versions.

Thanks guys. After further review, I ordered the Rockler set (I did
review this one earlier, also), plus an extra insert (2 1/2" dia.
opening). I'm sure I'll be pleased.

When I bought the router, last year, I had studied table plates.
Thought I'd be frugal and make my own.... looked easy enough. Spent
quite a bit of time, with that, then the subsequent "troubles" with my
whole set up. Kind of shot myself in the foot. I surmise it is
costing less time and money to have bought one in the first place.

I have the same router and originally bought a phenolic 'universal' plate.
This worked fine, but all the extra unused mounting holes were a real
distraction. Finally upgraded to a Woodpecker PRL with an aluminum plate.
Aside from the PRL, the plate has the ability to use inserts along with a
stepped version that works with router bushings. I find it's these little
differences that justify the higher price of the metal plates, although the
phenolic plate was a bit 'slicker'.

That doesn't sound like something you can blame on the Corian. I made
my plate out of the stuff - you can often get the sink cut out pieces
free at HD! It works just fine. I would look elsewhere for the cause
of the vibration lest you expend more money and effort on anoth plate
only to discover afterwards that the vibes were in the router somehow.

My Milwaukee 5625 runs smoothly but I did have a 5616-24 that I had to
return because of vibration.
Amazon replaced it promptly.

When I built my router table I used the run of the mill rousseau
insert. Not fancy but it works fine. Easy adjustment for different
sized bits. Costs $30-35.

The vibration isn't with/within the router. I use it manually, often,
with no problem. I'm not really sure where the vibration is, maybe
the whole table, as part of the table is an addition to one of my
tablesaw extension tables. I'll try the new router plate and, if I
still have the vibration, I'll make a separate table.

Just guessing that somehow you set up a harmonic vibration. If the router
has variable speed, does the vibration happen with all speeds? Could you
add a plastic/rubber ring to one or more of the fasteners that keep the
routertable in the saw?

The table isn't moving so it cannot cause the vibration but it may cause the
noise.

Good questions but I'd bet it's far more fundamental than that. I'd go back
to looking at the fit of the insert itself - fit and mounting. Maybe even
back to looking at the table mounting.
