You need 4 headless hanger screws (1/2 wood screw 1/2 threaded stud). The threaded stud is 1/4-20. Take out the 4 machine bolts holding the base plate on. Center the router on the insert of choice and press down the mark the hole locations on the insert. You might get lucky and find a pre made insert with matching hole pattern. Just keep in mind that you need 1/4-20 machine screws to mount. Don’t use 1/4-20 flat head bolts, the head is slightly larger than the machine screw. You are suppose to mount it with the base plate attached and the bolt holes do not go all the way through the hosing so be careful tightening up.
Bit changing on the Triton is so easy you might want to consider just attaching it directly to a new table top.

Willy,
I have the Rockler base in my Triton 3.25. I don't think they custom make one for the triton, I recycled mine from a Dewalt 621 set up, but it was quite easy as I remember...I used the screws that come with the triton to attach the Rockler plate.
Great minds think alike, the boys at Rockler set me up today with a alum plate and it fits perfect!!! Thanks you
Setting up the Triton 2.25HP router in a base plate and drilling for the winder hole
is not at all that difficult, I have a photo sequence of this procedure utilizing the round Veritas router mount plate. You might be interested in this.
