I have been looking round for a new insert for the router table, to mount my new Triton with, the old plate I made myself out of marine grade brass plate, but its just drilled for an Elu 177.......... Anyway, what a poor choice in UK if you are looking for an insert. So got this instead from Canada.......... Less than £43:00 inc shipping...... will let you know what its like when fitted....  |

No make given part of a job lot..................However someone might recognise it by its description
" This one fits all routers. You will not experience any sagging at all with this unit because the aluminum is a whopping 3/8" thick! Overall dimensions are 11" x 13." The plate has an offset edge (1/4" x 1/2") for mounting. It also has a precision milled & black anodized finish. 3-7/8" opening, 2-5/8" ring opening, 1-1/4" universal template hole (we can special order replacement rings if necessary). Adjusting and levelling set-screws to get it super flat on your table! This plate comes with detailed mounting instructions as well as brass starter pins and a brass centering kit to help you easily mount any router! Comes with a mounting kit and allen wrench.
List price is 69 Canadian dollars. I got it for 50 CD and 35CD shipping. which together = approx £42:00

Have you got it yet? dont be surprised at a surcharge for a modest amount of import duty - say 4%, then 17.5% vat and then a fee from the carrier for collecting the duty which can be about £8 last time I got caught.
It seems most of the big name carriers world wide have a cooperative arrangement with the UK carriers who collect this duty on every parcel on behalf of UK customs.

Not expected for a week ot two yet............ I know what you are saying about the duties. That said I have only paid duties/VAT etc once, for a camera from Japan, but even then it worked out cheaper than buying in UK.
They will be marking the parcel as a "gift" which sometimes works........
