I got the JessEm router plate for my RT under construction. The instructions say to use a either a 1-1/2" dia pattern bit or a 1/2" dia straight bit with a 3/4" template guide to route the recess to obtain the 3/4" corner radius . I have neither and really don't want to buy either. What I am thinking of doing is taking a piece of MDF and making a pattern of the plate, cutting out the hole and using a 1/2" dia pattern bit to route the groove that will be the lip to hold the plate and jigsawing the rest of the waste out. Am I crazy or wouldn't this plan work just fine. I really don't want to screw up this top. Thanks for everyone's advice.
