Other than the Woodhaven table not being flat, the insert plate fits in nice and snug, and was easy to remove. But, there was a warning to not leave the router hanging for extended periods as the insert will eventually sag. So, I will have to try and remember to remove the router when not in use. I was looking online for an aluminum plate with those dimension, but I was unable to find any.

Look at the Pinnacle Aluminum plate from Woodcraft. http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=20283 With the full set of Aluminum Insert Rings it would run just over $200 with sales tax. Don't know if it's really worth it but it would be nice.

Well, the dimensions are the same, predrilled for the 890 series router. That's a plus. I had to drill all the holes needed in the Woodhaven, I was afraid I was going to screw it up. But, $200, I would have to give that some serious thought, but it is a nice.

Tim, good catch. I didn't notice the rings that came with it. Price doesn't seem so bad now.

So I take it we get a manual for the router table and the setup of the TSIII. What about the Wonder Fence? I haven't found any included docs with that yet or do we have to grab that from Incra's site?

If I remember correctly, it is inside the body of the wonder fence.
