    Thanks Mike. I'm still struggling with getting mine setup correctly to zero to the bed, but I understand the virtues of it. I've built a similar fixed zero plate block at 35,-1.25 that gets surfaced with my spoilboard (remove the plate before hand). Here's a pic.

    Next time, after this spoilboard is finished, I'll mount the plate permanently in an off-table block below the spoilboard & use an offset in the file so that I don't have to surface this block each time I surface the spoilboard.

    Mike. In your previous pics I noticed that you had the grounding clip on the router mount rather than on the bit. Is that where you usually clip it?

    I've been reading about grounding without the clip on the bit & I've also done a few tests & I've come to the conclusion that grounding to anything other than the bit is not reliable - for me at least. Between the router bearings & brushes it wasn't always grounding when I clipped elsewhere.

    I have never had trouble and for whatever reason it seems to work for me. Thus I choose to do this at my own risk.

    I would recommend following the instructions provided by ShopBot. I believe that they recommend attaching the grounding clip to the bit.
