Very interesting 🤔  Jeff from Connecticut  Sent from my iPhone On Feb 2, 2024, at 9:31 AM, cdkr...@gmail.com <cdkra...@gmail.com> wrote:  The WoodRat is where the original idea came from.  I almost pulled the trigger on one of those, but I held out for the LOM. My application involves 3 pieces, a pivot pin on the router shell, a bent rod hooked into the hole for edge guide, and a handle bar bored with holes spaced to let the handle go full range of plunge.  I have to release the plunge lock with one hand while plunging with the other for now.  It works much better than plunging with the knobs for me. I can see potential for following a template with the plunge bar, but, you know, baby steps.

I like it.   This idea has popped up a few times over the years.(If you want to check the archives?) The Wood-Rat system started off this idea yrs back, with there cam router plunge bar design. Your design looks nice. Cant wait to hear how well it works. Do you have some way to over-ride the router locking bar? or is that not needed? C.A.G.
