I've modified my old shopsmith router table to take brass guide bushings as well as brass inserts of various sizes.
I never did find a matching size stock insert for the table but it looks like it was designed for something to fit it.

I do have a question, how are you thinning the flooring to the needed thickness from 1/2" stock?
Looking forward to hearing more about the project.

I used a straight carbide router bit in the router to get the edges the right thickness.......had to rout several test pieces to get it flush with the table....the last one turned out a couple of thousandth's over and i used a low power dremel clone with a sanding drum to make the final passes.....I then used thin CYA glue to harden the screw holes. I made another for the standard SS saw blade yesterday and now have one for roughing and one for the fine finish blades....
