This is a set of guides that I created for my Makita RT0701C Trim Router, but I believe this pattern is used by other routers. Note, if you need bushings for the Makita router for the fixed base, see [Makita / Katsu router guide bushings](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3205560).
I needed a specific size to use with the plunge base so that I could quickly cut out lots of holes for a Paulk workbench (similar to Festool MFT). If I had designed this earlier, I would have used it for the cutouts on the side of the table as well.
I paired this with a jig of oversized holes drilled with a forstner bit that I built to allow me to cut out each column of holes with perfect alignment in about 15 minutes per table. The oversized holes of the template resulted in the outcome of 3/4" holes. This approach can be applied to any template that you'd like to follow. Just create a template of what you want to reproduce multiple times that is oversized based on the guide's outside diameter.
