While working on the new wedding boxes for my wife's photography business www.shuttersam.com (shameless plug I know...because I love her) I discovered that the 1/8" diameter straight cutting bit I was using to route an important groove didn't seem to be adequately surrounded by my smallest diameter throat plate in the router table.
No big deal really, but I didn't want to take the risk of the material catching or splintering or tearing out or...whatever could go wrong.
So better to be safe than sorry, I broke out a customizable insert plate and made one that would work perfectly for this task.
