Download the RII template, print it out then trace it onto your board by lining up the deckbolt holes. It's quite easy to DIY with simple tools.

Would be able to, yes.
Have the time to, unfortunately not.
If you have access to a drill and a jig saw, you could do it also.
The cutout doesn't need to be accurate. The existing deckbolt holes line up your trucks still.
If you can't do it just get Robbo to do it. He's got the skills.

Brodie,
make sure when you print the template you print it "real/life" size.
Measure it to make sure its printed true size, not reduced scale like 95%,
otherwise nothin will matchup.
Print one out, cut the paper one out, then try the bears in the paper one, or some scrap wood,
before touchin the deck.
Wayne.

Brodie don't worry about downloading a template, it serves no purpose if you are just doing one offs and serves no purpose if you don't have randals. I assume you want to do it to suit a Grizzly. The good news is that its not very hard to do, the bad news is you have picked a horrible baseplate to do it with. The reason for this is the bear plate is unnecessarily oversized and has an extra 3 points that stop it from being a perfect rectangle. The best plate to dropthrough are CNC plates as they are exact rectangles with no extending bits which allow you to bring the dropthrough as close to the nose and tail as you need to. Many boards using the normal bolt hole end with a bear protruding past the front and the back of the deck meaning you need to create new bolt hole for the bear to allow for some wood at each end of the board. This may not be a problem with the pagan.
You will need:
- a jigsaw
- a drill with at least a 10mm drill bit
- flat medium wood file
- small fine triangular wood file
- cylindrical file
- power-file if you have one but this is optional
- vices or clamps to hold the deck
Hold your baseplate to your board with some deck bolts. Mark the top and bottom line with a pencil, mark the wings and mark each side.
1. drill 4 pilot holes for jigsaw. The pilot hole is used to give the jigsaw access to the cut area so only needs to be as big as the jigsaw blade
2. Cut as much excess wood out with the jigsaw as possible but be conservative and do not over cut.
3. Use a flat file on the rectangle area till you get the baseplate to fit. Keep checking to see if the bolts match up perfectly.
4. If you need to square the corners do this with the small triangular file.
5. use the cylindrical file to cut the wings. Be precise with this and keep replacing the baseplate to see that everything lines up.
note: take your time, it may take 2-3hrs to get it exactly right. Keep re-penciling the lines as you will tend to wipe them off as you work on it. If you keep matching the baseplate up the final result should be that you are literally jamming the plate to get it in with absolutely no gaps anywhere while the bolt holes match perfectly

Rob-Tec comes through with the goods!
Dropping thru a bear. Sounds like a euphemism for something! Ha!
