I'm making a plate for my home made router table as the one often recommended didn't fit my router (Ryobi ERT-1150VN). I now want to cut the centre hole for the router bit but I'm not sure of the best method.
The largest cutter I'm using with the table is 37.5mm diameter, 4mm biscuit/slot cutter. So I need a 40mm (ish) hole.
What would be best? hole saw, Forstner bit, spade bit or some kind of router bit.
I don't have a drill press or stand, just a router. I had one idea to cut it roughly to size with a fret saw then use the biscuit/slot cutter to plunge through to clean it up. Would this work or are they only designed to cut edge on?
The acrylic sheet is A4 size and I've drilled the holes to mount it to the router.
Sorry if this is a little rambling.
Cheers
Steve
