Key Features
Flat, Rigid Mount A 3/8 inch thick phenolic insert plate gives your router a solid, level surface so your bit height stays consistent and your cuts stay clean. Predrilled for Common Routers The Kreg Tool PRS4036 Precision Router Table Insert Plate is predrilled and includes mounting hardware for Porter-Cable 690 and 890 Series routers and the Bosch 1617, so you can bolt up and get back to routing. Level-Loc Ring System Twist-in Level-Loc reducing rings let you size the bit opening to the job for better support around the cutter and easier guide bushing work.
Overview
The Kreg Tool PRS4036 Precision Router Table Insert Plate – Predrilled for Porter-Cable & Bosch (Model Number: PRS4036) is a router table insert plate designed for mounting a router in a router table with a solid, level surface. If you are tired of fighting flex, sag, or sloppy openings around the bit, this plate is built to tighten up your setup.
This is a router table insert plate designed for routing and shaping wood using a fixed router mounted under a tabletop. The plate measures 9 1/4 inches by 11 3/4 inches, which is a common size for router table tops and makes it easier to retrofit into a lot of tables without reinventing your layout.
Kreg makes this plate from 3/8 inch thick phenolic. In real use, that thickness matters because it helps keep the router supported and keeps the plate flat so the bit stays square to the table and your depth setting does not drift when you lean into a cut.
The PRS4036 version is predrilled and includes mounting hardware for specific routers: Porter-Cable 690 Series, Porter-Cable 890 Series, and Bosch 1617. You are not stuck with a plate full of random hole patterns you will never use, but you still get a straightforward install for the most common shop routers.
On top, the Level-Loc reducing ring system lets you change the opening size around the router bit. A smaller opening supports the workpiece closer to the cutter, and that is especially useful on narrow stock, edge profiling, and detail routing where tear-out and chatter show up fast.
Three Level-Loc rings are included: 1 inch, 1 3/16 inches (for universal-style guide bushings), and 2 5/8 inches. The rings twist into place using the included ring wrench and lock in level and flush with the plate surface, so you are not catching stock on a ring that sits proud.
Flip the plate over and you will find alignment marks on the underside. Those marks make it easier to center and mount on most routers, which is handy if you are swapping routers, dialing in centering, or troubleshooting why a bit feels off-center during a template-guided pass.
This insert plate is a strong fit for woodworkers, cabinet shops, and serious DIYers building or upgrading a router table. If you already own a Porter-Cable 690 or 890 Series router, or a Bosch 1617, this is the cleanest way to get a solid mount without guessing on hole patterns.
Better Support Around the Bit
Swap the ring to match the cutter and keep the opening tight. That gives your workpiece better support at the cut and helps reduce chip-out on small profiles.
- Includes Level-Loc rings: 1 inch, 1 3/16 inches (guide bushing friendly), and 2 5/8 inches
- Twist-lock design uses the included ring wrench to seat the ring level and flush

Pro Tip
Pick the smallest Level-Loc ring that clears your bit. A tighter opening supports the workpiece closer to the cut and usually leaves a cleaner edge, especially on narrow parts and small profiles.
Tool Nut’s Take
Tool Nut’s Take
Keeps your router table honest
If your table setup is only as flat as the plate, this one is the upgrade that actually shows up in the cut.

- Why it stands out: Thick phenolic plate plus the Level-Loc ring system gives you solid support and quick opening changes without a sloppy, oversized hole.
- Worth knowing: The Kreg Tool PRS4036 Precision Router Table Insert Plate is predrilled for specific routers, so confirm your model before you commit if you are not on the Porter-Cable 690 or 890 Series or Bosch 1617 platform.
