Yeah, that would work too. The Veritas method is just lining up a 1/2" stud mounted in the router collet with the 1/2" pin. I like using the 1/2" ID sleeve I got at Lowes.

Good idea. Can't you clamp it in place that way, then lower the router enough to put in the actual bit while the pin is already clamped? Or isn't there enough room?

That's exactly what I do. In fact, I can raise or lower the router or the pin as much as needed the way things are set up now. The nice thing about the PC router base is you can drop the router out from the bottom, change bits and slide it back in with ease. Takes no time at all and you have several inches of play to let you raise or lower the router/bit.

I like it!
