So I look at router insert plates for a table and they're not cheap, and a lot of them have multi-plates to accommodate every router ever made. For a 10mm thick piece of aluminium with a specific set of pre-drilled holes, would it not be cheaper to have one made for the specific purpose?

They would be cheaper to have made (I suspect) but you need volume.

There were 2 Group Buys in the past for custom made router plates and inserts\discs. The 1st one got around 40 or so made and prices were around £18 for Mild steel and £24 for AL including the delivery.

The 2nd time round the numbers were lower and as such prices were about £5-6 more.

I think one set went to Italy and 2 went to Japan\Thailand.

Here's one of the threads - Router Insert - Interested?

I still have the CAD drawings if you want a copy.
