Thread: Bosch 1617EVS

  1. #16
    I got the base from Pat Warner and tried it out this weekend-problem solved. The Warner base is beautifully machined and it's transparency is a plus. Someone commented that .0015 is insignificant in woodworking and most of the time it's not. Make a well fitted MT joint and take a very few thousandths off and it's obvious that sometimes a little goes a long way, DT's is another of those times.

    I put a Jasper base on my Bosch. I didn't like their bushing contraption either. Why reinvent the wheel when there's something out there that works, is simple and reliable?

    My guess is patent issues more than a desire to be "special" ;-)

    There's a patent on making a 1 3/16" recess in a router plate?
