Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] trim routers

Dave,

I used the Porter Cable trim router, and found it fairly simple to
mount. I used a table saw to mill a cross section into a 1/2" aluminum
plate that matched the intended mounting surfaces of the trim router. I
held it in place with the 1/4-20 screw.

These are the best pictures I have:
