: Pascal, I have the Makita 3612C plunge router and the Lee Valley bits. I
: didn't have any trouble, but I mounted the router on a base plate that is
: inserted into the top of my router table. It's about 1/4-3/8" thick.
: If you don't want to add an insert, route out the bottom of the melamine
: so that it is not as thick in area where the router is mounted. I have
: some pictures of my setup on my webpage under the OI building log
: "milling the strips".

I like that insert idea. There is some 6mm MDF lying around in my shop. I can probably rout a hole with a shoulder into my 15mm melamine, and install the mdf flush with the tabletop. That will bring the router 9mm closer to the wood strips. Maybe I will fix it in some fancy way to be able to lift the insert out.

Which reminds me: I previously milled the strips on another setup taken from this forum, the Babina/Jacobson/Rehd circ saw - table saw, as described below. It worked very well, once I got everything to line up properly.
