    Default AEG RT1350E Router

    Hi guys, just bought an AEG Router with the intention of mounting it under a router table. It appears after a call to AEG this Router can't be mounted this way. I did see mention however in this or another forum of this router being able to be mounted under a router table. Can it or can't it?? AEG don't supply a plate for a table top for this router, is there a third party plate I can buy?? Sorry about the way I wrote this post, carriage return not working here . OZ.

    Yes you can mount it under a table. Well I can't see why not anyway.
    Any of the router mounting plates from forum sponsors, PWS or Carbatec would do the job.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Thanks, I'll have a look at those links but the router doesn't appear to have holes in the base to screw a plate onto. Oz.

    Just downloaded the manual. There appear to be four screws holding the phenolic/plastic cover onto the base.
    Remove those and use those threaded holes to secure it to the plate. If that's not correct a couple of photos of the router might help.

    I'll be watching this thread with interest. I have the semi-identical cousin of your router in the 1250W Ryobi, and I had been wondering at how to do a proper lift for it.

    If you do decide to mount it in a table you can just use the 4 mounting holes that are normally for the plastic plate as someone mentioned above ( I have mine in a ryobi ART3 table). You can pull the springs out pretty easy. If you look at the front of the router (with the speed dial) there are three screws and then the smaller plastic cover comes off (two at the top and one of the left hand side). If you look to the right above the right plunge leg you'll see a circlip at the top of the leg, pop that off with some right angle circlip tips and the whole base comes off. You can them pop the springs out fairly easily from inside the dust cover thingies. I made the mistake of totally dismantling mine when I went to do that as I assumed each leg had a circlip on it! It took me a while to get back together. I'm going to do a write up on removing them with photos next time I have mine off the table but this might help you in the meantime.

    Curious - I have been up to Bunnings today and have had a look at the same AEG router - it seems perfect for a router table as it has a threaded limiting rod on it that can be turned into a router lift fairly easily AND, as far as I am aware, allows the springs to be removed by just unscrewing the nut that limits the plunge. The only thing that doesn't make sense is a) there appears to be only 2 mounting screws (5/16 thread - and as Bunnings didn't have any 5/16 countersunk screws I didn't buy it - god they are hopeless) - the thing is, this is the ONLY router I have seen that DOESN'T have a removable base pad - it is just a stick on thin film piece of plastic - if the router is to be only used in a table this doesn't matter so I am interested in thoughts from others who have used it this way

    A little off topic but relevant to the AEG mentioned above. Am considering purchasing a Milescraft Circle/Edge Guide - MC-122. Am I likely to encounter problems fitting the router with this set-up. Am only new to both woodworking and routing. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Ross

    Default Ryobi ERT1500/ERT1500V

    Hi guys,

    I've been doing a little bit of searching online and this router looks suspiciously like the Ryobi ERT1500V that was available in the UK (or was at one point I think). Looks identical spec wise with the same power, plunge depth and weight, it looks the same bar the colours, and Ryobi and AEG are owned by the same company. It might help in trying to find matching template guides and other accessories as I've not been able to find much else about it online. Pretty good value for the price I guess, so no complaints there from me

    Hope that helps in some way.

    Default lock-on button

    G'day, I've inherited an AEG1350T. Is there a way to lock the switch on so that I can keep it running while on the router table [I have a Triton table]?

    One simple solution is to wrap a cable tie and secure it, easily cut off if you need to use the unit for general work.
    I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.
