Just a quick job on my table saw:

Thanks for posting this. It reminds me that I’ve had the material for the same project for a couple of years now and need to get off my duff and commit to getting it done!

Wow, I was just researching doing this on my PCS. Any change you can share that .crv?
Great job! Same question, you willing to share your file? I have the exact same lift and was planning on doing this.

This is zeroed from the center point. I did a couple tests on scrap before doing this on Table Saw extension. I am bit leery of sharing a file as I am not so good at all this stuff. Measure twice and all that. This is my lift, your plate dimensions and thickness may be different. JessEm Mast-R-Lift II - Lee Valley Tools

My used Powermatic table saw came with a router in the extension. They did a horrible job and it bugged the hell out of me. I did the same thing as you but I didn’t have a CNC at the time. IIRC the corners were a .75" radius so I used a hole saw to make each ‘corner’ and router to remove the material to the correct depth. A CNC would have been so much easier.
I was recently given a cast iron router table that wasn’t set up for a router plate. I keep looking at it but have yet to try and cut the table to mount a plate. Too bad I could do it on the 1F.
Nice work Mitch. Don’t sell yourself short. It looks like you nailed it.
