    Small router question

    Do any of the small palm routers come with a base plate that will except guide bushings? I just got thru making one for my Craftsman palm router out of a scrap of lexan. I made an easy adjustable jig to cut biscuit slots using my router and my large router is too bulky for this job. I may never again use biscuits so could see no need to waste money purchasing a biscuit cutter which is not a universal or multi use tool.

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

    If you can't find one, it's easy enough to make a base plate that will accept P-C style guide bushings. Check the sizes on a factory base but I think I used 2 forstner bits, 1 3/16" and 1 3/8" Start with the 1 3/8" drill about 1/8" deep then flip over and drill through with the 1 3/16"

    The Bosch Colt has an optional baseplate that accepts those standard guide bushings. The new DeWalt 611 accepts them.

    Is there a delayed echo in here?

    I think I must have only read the Bosch portion of Jamie's post.

    The new DeWalt 611 accepts them and you can get an adapter for the Bosch Colt.
