Router Table Top
The Top should be flat and carport to do potential work. I prefer a high-pressure laminate top on both sides. It seems better to me than melamine or other types. It makes sense to have a clean top - no miter channel. Those things weaken the top and just derive sawdust. You rarely need them. To use a miter channel, it must be quadrilateral to the fence. Is it worth the trouble?
It is not hard to make a Top. Or you can find potential tops at a fair price without all the bells and whistles. Try to find one around 24" wide x 32" long. If you put the router insert plate towards the back, it will contribute more work room for wider boards.
Router Table Insert Plate
There are many router plates available. The snap-out rings for many are not easy. I broke a incorporate of snap-out rings when trying to take them out. From a user-friendly standpoint, they are difficult. Some of these insert plates tend to sag over time. That will not give you an spoton cut.
You may skimp on this item, but I think you will be sorry in the end. It seems thrifty to get a 3/8" solid aluminum one with inserts that are easy to change. They remain flat, and are easy to replacement the inserts. It is best to have an insert that accepts Pc guide bushings. A incorporate of different size inserts are good for larger router bits. Woodpecker makes a top potential one. Once in awhile you can find them on sale.
You can make your own template to mount a router plate. Put 2-sided sticky tape on the insert plate, and mounted it to ¼" tempered hardboard. Then use an inlay bearing kit in reverse. Now you have a template to make a template.
Tape or clamp the template to ¾" plywood or Mdf. Put the bearing on the inlay kit. Then router the ¾" Plywood (Mdf). You have an exact copy of your insert plate. You can put the insert plate in any place that you want. By using a different template guide, you can cut the 1/2" ledge to support the insert plate. Simple!
