Anyone know where I can find...

...some of these?

I'm making a routing jig and I need four of these slotted plates but I can't find them nor can I figure out the right search term to find them via a Google search.

I'm a bit surprised because it would seem these should be easy to find but I've had no luck.

Related, here's the video of the person making one. His channel on youtube is very nice.

Ajustable router jig for square holes or recesses

Thanks!

I don't know how to find these, but the plates don't have to be slotted. There is no lengthwise adjustment. You can simply use plates with 3 holes.

You might have to fabricate them yourself, or have a machine shop mill you some.

Interesting Svar, I'll have to try that out. Sometimes things like that just aren't apparent when someone first sees something.

Doesn't he sell plans for the stuff he makes ?

Certainly he provides a material list and a source for them.

He does not have a plan for that - at least not that I found in the 3 page list on his site. I also saw a number of people ask him about that part and no one answered.

Regardless I think Svar's answer is probably the best.

I am aware of the Woodpecker option

On this video at the top of the thread, I was very impressed by how well that video was made - efficiency, lighting, field of view, editing, clarity.  So, I went to look up the guy who made the video.  Interesting very smart guy!

That slotted item looks very similar to the traditional adjustment strap for an alternator mounting. Maybe try a motor factor (not sure what the equivalent US term would be - anyway, somewhere that sells car parts!).
